Abstract

Pedagogical Counseling is a recent professional activity, born from the need to qualify university education and promote spaces for teacher professional development. University teaching is based on the emphasis on research activities, which makes it distance itself from the didactic-pedagogical dimension that underlies this profession, causing gaps between the generation of teachers and that of students in higher education courses.
