Abstract
Objective. To compare the levels of professional identity among Chilean traditional and non-traditional pedagogy students, considering the type of teacher itrainer, academic progression, and the predictive capacity of these two variables on the professional identity. Method. A cross-sectional design with a non-random sample of 702 Chilean pedagogy students was used. Measures included professional teacher identity, identification with the teacher trainer, and the academic level of the students. Results. Non-parametric tests revealed differences in professional identity levels, identification with the teacher trainer, and the predictive model of professional identity between traditional and non-traditional students. These findings are discussed considering the existing literature.
