Abstract: The aim of this research is to analyze the attitude of future teachers toward death education and which are the factors that influence their predisposition about it. For this, a quantitative study with a descriptive-inferential cross-sectional design was carried out with a sample composed of 204 Primary Education Degree students from the University of Malaga. The Death Education Attitudes Scale-Teachers was implemented as a validated instrument, in which biological, emotional, identity, contextual, formative and motivational factors were considered within the attitude's incidence. The results show a moderately positive attitude, with significant differences according to the mentioned factors (sex, loss of a beloved one, anxiety about death, religious belief, type of school, teaching method, particular interest about this topic, etc.). As a conclusion, there is a need to adopt educational policies that reformulate future teachers' initial training and that considerate emotional management toward death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
