Descripción:The present article aims to analyze the tasks of the single-teacher teaching staff (PEU) and determine their training needs in the pedagogical and administrative fields. The research was carried out during the first semester of 2021 in school district 07 of the Regional Directorate of Education of Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica, with a sample of seven people, including six single teachers and their supervisor. The approach used was qualitative, with a case study design. For data collection, an initial analysis of documentary content was carried out, followed by a focus group with the participants and finally, two in-depth interviews were conducted. The results indicate that there are training deficiencies in the pedagogical field, especially in relation to constructivist methods, curricular contextualization, attention to diversity, current competencies and skills, ICT management, and authentic assessment. In the administrative field, there were training needs in topics such as the Quality Education Evaluation Model, financial and administrative management, budgets, minutes, tenders, payroll, infrastructure requests, digital and physical management files, and general plans. Additionally, the study identifies the lack of comprehensive university training and the need for updating and self-training processes in exercise for the PEU. In conclusion, the study shows the importance of more robust training for the PEU and adequate support during their exercise to guarantee quality educational services.
