Abstract

This study sought to describe and classify the final graduation projects developed between 2009 and 2019 in the Physical Education Pedagogy program at a public non- state university in southern Chile. A quantitative approach was employed, using descriptive statistics for data analysis. A total of 212 theses were analyzed; for classification, a proposal was devised establishing three thematic areas. Results indicate that the largest number of graduation works are in the pedagogical area, followed by the disciplinary area and finally the integral area. In conclusion, descriptive studies on the analysis of theses within a given period allow for understanding and redirecting the processes of initial teacher training in Physical Education around the demands for quality training in relation to the curriculum and established institutional norms.
