This paper reports on the results of a study carried out in the framework of a university outreach project entitled: "Strengthening Pedagogical Mediation for Graduates of Teaching Majors” from División de Educología (DE), of Centro de Investigación y Docencia en Educación (CIDE) from Universidad Nacional of Costa Rica (UNA), which implements continuing education actions for the improvement of pedagogical mediation. This article aims to determine, from the perception of graduates in the teaching majors, the possible priority areas that require continuous training. The research was based on the naturalistic paradigm and a methodology that assumes a type of mixed research, based on the use of a questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions. The research was carried out in collaboration with 94 graduates from various institutions and areas of the country, who participated in the continuing education courses taught in 2018, so the results obtained cannot be generalized. Among the main results, the need for a continuous, systematic, and progressive training program that allows them to improve their pedagogical mediation in pedagogical areas, such as teaching, evaluation, teaching resources, and teaching professional development stand out.
