چکیده
Education constitutes a field subjected to a constant process of change in order to be adapted to the characteristics and requirements of society. This process requests from both present and future teachers the ability to be constantly updated and the disposition to face the changes in a positive way. Below we present the results of a descriptive study on the resistance to change among students from the Pre-primary Education Teacher Bachelor’s Degree of the University of Salamanca, in its branches of Salamanca, Ávila and Zamora. This study had 382 participant students, who were administered the Resistance to Change Scale, aiming to assess their dispositional resistance to change. The results of the descriptive analysis show moderate levels of resistance to change among students. The hypothesis testing barely shows any significant differences according to the year of the students and their branch. CCS Concepts • Social and professional topics → User characteristics.
