The investigation of the curricular preferences of students from primary and preschool pedagogy specialization. Premises for a model of action and socio - pedagogical intervention

This study synthesizes the results of an empirical research, whose purpose was to identify and analyze the curricular preferences of students studying in the field of Primary and Preschool Pedagogy specialization, from the University of Craiova, Faculty of Theology, History and Education Sciences. We constructed a questionnaire in order to identify the curricular preferences of the above mentioned students, aiming in the same time to analyze the relationship between two major variables: students' perception regarding the attractiveness of disciplines as part of the educational curriculum and students' perceptions concerning academic subjects’ utility with regard to the professional training curriculum. The results have confirmed the conclusions of several previous surveys regarding the curricular preferences and have opened, in the same time, new perspectives, for further research and development in the field of professional training curriculum, from the perspective of the social constructivism theory.
