Resumen

El objetivo del presente estudio es explorar, desde una perspectiva sociocultural, el proceso de construcción de la identidad profesional de dos estudiantes de pedagogía en inglés como lengua extranjera. Se utilizó un estudio de caso de índole cualitativo a través de narrativas, entrevistas semi-estructuradas y grupo focal. Los resultados muestran que el proceso de construcción de la identidad de los estudiantes de pedagogía es cambiante y dinámico, y se va formando a través de factores personales y externos tales como la auto-imagen, experiencias de aprendizaje y de prácticas profesionales que están interrelacionados.
