Abstract

The aim of this paper is analyzing the lexical availability of 591 students who are enrolled in the first and fourth courses of the pre-primary and primary education degrees. Additionally, the goal of this study is to analyze the evolution of the vocabulary during the four years of studies. A survey was created to develop both objectives, divided into two sections: the first one, which was centered on the sociodemographic data of the students, and a second one, to assess the lexical availability through 18 centers of interest. The results show that there are variances between students of first and fourth course. In this sense, it is also important to do a reinforcement into the different areas of knowledge to improve the vocabulary of future teachers and to be able to obtain more significant differences.
