Most educators overlook the importance of corporal expression, even though it has been shown to have various advantages for children of all ages. In the teaching-learning process, teacher views and beliefs are crucial because they have a significant impact on students. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the existing differences in the perceptions of future teachers towards corporal expression according to their gender and educational specialty. A total of 437 aspiring Spanish instructors participated in the sample, selected by the convenience sampling method, and answered the Questionnaire to Assess Perceptions of Corporal Expression in Future Spanish Teachers to gauge their understanding of and preparation for corporal expression via Google Forms. The Mann-Whitney U test was employed to evaluate the possible differences between the diverse items and factors according to gender and educational specialty. The results displayed good perceptions of corporal expression throughout the sample, finding significant differences in most items and all the dimensions when education specialty is considered. Nevertheless, gender variables did not seem to mediate those perceptions. Therefore, university degrees oriented to education must include the same amount of content related to corporal expression to ensure adequate initial training regardless of the stage of education at which the teachers develop their academic activity.
大多数教育工作者忽视了肢体表达的重要性，尽管研究表明肢体表达对各年龄段的儿童都有诸多益处。在教学过程中，教师的观点和信念至关重要，因为它们会对学生产生重大影响。因此，本研究的目的是分析未来教师根据其性别和教育专业在对肢体表达的认知上存在的差异。共有437名有抱负的西班牙语教师参与了样本，采用便利抽样法选取，并通过谷歌表单回答了《未来西班牙语教师肢体表达认知评估问卷》，以衡量他们对肢体表达的理解和准备情况。采用曼-惠特尼U检验来评估根据性别和教育专业在不同项目和因素之间可能存在的差异。结果显示整个样本对肢体表达的认知良好，在考虑教育专业时，大多数项目和所有维度都存在显著差异。然而，性别变量似乎并未调节这些认知。因此，面向教育的大学学位必须包含相同数量的与肢体表达相关的内容，以确保无论教师在哪个教育阶段开展学术活动，都能获得充分的初始培训。
