La asignatura Ciencias Sociales y su Didáctica I (Geografía) de los estudios de Grado en Educación Primaria es, en la Universitat de les Illes Balears y en la mayoría de universidades españolas, el único contacto académico que mantendrán los futuros maestros con la Geografía. Existe un ambiente de preocupación sobre la formación de los maestros en España, inquietud que no es exclusiva de los geógrafos ni de nuestro país. El presente trabajo indaga en los conocimientos mínimos de Geografía exigibles a los futuros docentes a través de una prueba de conocimientos basada, en gran parte, en el currículo de Ciencias Sociales de Educación Primaria de la Comunidad Autónoma de las Islas Baleares. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que el alumnado del Grado en Educación Primaria no ha interiorizado esos contenidos tras su dilatada trayectoria académica. Asimismo desvelan que aunque ninguna variable es determinante, el género, la escasa presencia de materias de Geografía en el sistema educativo español y el nivel de formación de los padres son algunos de los factores que inciden en los resultados alcanzados por los alumnos en una prueba piloto sobre la que se basa la investigación.

Resumo:
One of the most decisive factors in the quality of education and academic performance of students is quality, preparation and dedication of the teachers. The exquisite system of selecting candidates for teacher training programs is one of the fundamentals of success of the Finnish Education System. The responsibility of choosing the best students to convert them into teachers is a challenge that involves a significant reform of university admission. Achieving this goal involves the choice of strategies and educational tools in accordance to the complexity of the demands presented by the teaching profession in the digital age. This study describes, analyzes and compares the admission tests in the University of Spain (PAU) and Finland (VAKAVA), for those who wish to become professional educators, in order to understand the possible influence of these tests to select the most suitable candidates to develop into future teaching professionals. The results showed that in Spain, the entrance test to universities is developed in a general way for all the students that aspire to any field of knowledge, while in Finland, the test is specific and particular for students aspiring to the field of education. The results of this study can guide and encourage the necessary changes that have to be done in the admission tests to Spanish university in general and to teacher education faculties in particular.
