Competencia profesional de futuros docentes, tratamiento de la diversidad y alumnado inmigrante

The research that frames the contribution of this article responds to the recommendation of the Council of the European Union (2014) on conducting studies on the development of teacher competences. Our goal is to offer a snapshot of the level of competence in the different teaching functions and tasks of the future teachers at the end of their studies of the Childhood Education Degree, from the perspective of the pre-service teachers of two public Universities of Galicia. In this article, we focus on some of the necessary competences to face educational challenges that arise from phenomena such as multiculturalism, multilingualism, immigration and diversity. The results warn us of the existing gap between the self-perception of competence in the selected variables and the recommendations of the Council of Europe (2019) related to them.
