Abstract

This paper describes partial results of the research implemented by the support of the SGS-2016-063 project – Studying at the Faculty of Education as a place for forming future teacher's professional identity. The study focuses on how the professional identity of future teachers is developed and what blocks this development. Identity is a psychosocial construct; it is the result of a dialectical relationship between an individual and society. It is created and changed by social relationships. Therefore, the research focuses on the course of study at the Faculty of Education in terms of interaction between students and university teachers. From a methodological point of view, this is a mixed research.

Keywords: Professional Identity, University teacher, Interaction, Attitudes, Values.
