Resumen
The profile of the pedagogy student is polyvalent, the motivations, competencies, attitudes,
and necessary aptitudes are also varied and suitable for developing the exercise of their profession in
different labor scenarios, ranging from the educational-training context to the business context. The
aim of this research has been to analyze the influence of sociodemographic factors and knowledge in
pedagogy on labor market insertion, expectations about the degree, and employability of students
of the degree in pedagogy at the University of Granada, Spain. The methodology used was based
on a cross-sectional study design through a survey administered to a total of 334 students. The
results obtained show that there are differences between the two genders. Regarding the year of
study, no significant differences were found. Knowledge about the profile of the pedagogue is a
factor that does influence expectations about the degree, job placement, and employability. However,
expectations about the degree did not influence job placement, although employability did. It is
concluded by stating that there is a lack of knowledge about the role of the pedagogue, which needs
to be alleviated, as well as highlighting the need to reinforce the curricular, academic, and practical
training of this degree.
