Abstract
El propósito del presente estudio es examinar la visión del profesorado acerca de la educación sobre la muerte y las actitudes personales ante el morir, como también la relación entre ambas. Se realiza un estudio descriptivo y correlacional en que se aplican dos instrumentos a una muestra de 168 docentes de educación primaria y secundaria que trabajan en establecimientos escolares de Santiago de Chile. Los resultados muestran que el profesorado considera que educar sobre la muerte es un tema altamente relevante para sus escuelas, sin embargo, tienden a presentar mayor incomodidad y resistencia a la hora de abordar este tema con sus propios estudiantes. Sentimientos de miedo y la evitación personal ante el morir están fuertemente vinculados a esta resistencia. El estudio concluye que para potenciar la educación sobre la muerte se requiere una comunidad de aprendizaje y una formación docente que reflexione sobre las propias muertes, respetando las diversas experiencias y actitudes ante el morir.

However, teachers tend to show greater discomfort and resistance to address this issue with their own students. The teachers present feelings of fear and personal avoidance in the face of dying. The study concludes that to promote education about death, a learning community and teacher training are required that reflect on their own deaths, respecting the different experiences and attitudes towards dying.
