Situación de los docentes de español / LE en centros de enseñanza secundaria en Cracovia: aproximación a un análisis de expectativas y satisfacción profesional

The goal of this paper is to offer –from a synchronic perspective– an empirical analysis of the way Secondary School teachers within the Cracow metropolitan area perceive their teaching and the students they work with. Thanks to the conducted survey we will be able to observe the evaluation of aspects such as work environment and atmosphere, the teaching institution, salary, the strengths and weaknesses of educational centres, etc. This will be preceded by a brief study into the Polish education system which will provide an introductory reference to the context the research was carried out in.
