Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the results of a research study carried out in the
context of galician public schools during the 2006-2007 academic year. I worked on the
relationship between the FOL (Vocational Training and Guidance) teachers and their
counseling role, the guidance system implemented in education and the relevance of
the FOL module in the training of the professionals who undertake initial vocational
training in Spain; more specifically, in Galicia.
In the first place I present an analysis of the organization of educational guidance
departments in secondary schools in Galicia; then, the implications of the FOL module
regulations; and finally, research data with the profiles of the participating teachers and
their opinion about their inclusion in the guidance departments of the schools where
they work.
The pursued objectives were:
· To understand the importance of the vocational training and guidance module
within the framework of training courses addressed to teachers with different
professional profiles.
· To be aware of the professionalizing implications of the FOL module.
· To know the roles and tasks of teaching staff in the schools, their connections
with the educational guidance departments and their degree of collaboration.
