El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar las expectativas laborales de los estudiantes de la licenciatura en Educación Física de último año de formación en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Cultura Física de la Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua, México. En una investigación descriptiva con enfoque cualitativo se estudió la opción curricular de recreación. Con la participación de 14 estudiantes (ocho mujeres y seis hombres) con edades promedio entre 21 y 22 años, a quienes se les aplicó una entrevista semiestructurada, para el análisis de datos se realizó un procedimiento deductivo. Los resultados fueron que la mayoría de los estudiantes contemplan ser empleados, sin embargo, hubo estudiantes que refirieron el autoempleo y el emprendimiento. Se identificó perspectivas laborales emergentes en el contexto local que pertenecen al perfil profesional de recreación. Se concluyó que la danza recreativa, el turismo activo y promotor recreativo en industrias son perspectivas laborales de interés de los estudiantes. Por último, las universidades formadoras de educadores físicos deben contemplar la modificación de sus planes de estudio, favoreciendo experiencias y el desarrollo de competencias que permitan la inserción laboral de los estudiantes.

In a descriptive research with a qualitative approach, the recreational curricular option was studied. With the participation of 14 students (eight women and six men) with average ages between 21 and 22 years, to whom it was conducted a semi-structured interview, a deductive procedure was carried out for data analysis.

Service-learning (SL) is the subject of a growing number of studies and is becoming increasingly popular in physical education teacher education (PETE) programs. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the implementation of SL programs with PETE students. The databases used were Web of Science, SPORTDiscus (EBSCO), and SCOPUS. Articles were selected on the basis of the following criteria: (a) published in a peer-reviewed journal; (b) covers the use of SL programs with PETE students; (c) relates to physical education or physical activity programs; (d) availability of a full-text version in English and/or Spanish. Thirty-two articles met the inclusion criteria. Two types of findings were observed: firstly, findings relating to the study characteristics and objectives and, secondly, recommendations for improvement of this type of intervention. The objectives of the different studies focused on (a) the impact of the SL methodology on PETE students’ professional, social, and personal skills; (b) its impact on the community; (c) analysis of the effectiveness and quality of the programs. All but two studies analyzed the impact of SL on PETE, while only four analyzed community participants and only three analyzed the quality of the SL program. Recommendations for improving SL programs used with PETE students included: all stakeholders, e.g., students and community participants, should be studied and coordinated; the quality of the programs should be assessed, as studying the effectiveness of SL programs could help to attain the objectives of both students and the community; mixed methods should be used; and intervention implementation periods should be extended to provide more objective, controlled measurements.
