Pese a que los estudios de Pedagogía se diseñaron vinculados al contexto educativo formal, las necesidades formativas o educativas de la sociedad también existen en otros ámbitos. Es por ello por lo que las salidas profesionales para estos estudios se han ampliado a nuevos contextos como el no formal o el empresarial. No obstante, y pese al surgimiento de esos nuevos yacimientos de empleo para estos profesionales, algunos estudios muestran que el alumnado se encuentra insatisfecho con la formación recibida durante sus estudios universitarios por no ajustarse a dichas posibilidades profesionales futuras. En el presente estudio se realiza una revisión de los planes de estudio del Grado en Pedagogía en distintas universidades españolas. El objetivo es observar si existe una adaptación de las materias curriculares a las demandas por parte del alumnado y la sociedad. Los resultados apuntan a una diversificación curricular que abarcan otros ámbitos distintos del educativo formal. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de la oferta educativa en ámbitos no formales, empresariales o institucionales se realiza por medio de materias optativas. Tan solo se ha observado que algunas universidades que ofertan formación en estos ámbitos dentro de sus asignaturas básicas u obligatorias. Se podría considerar, por tanto, necesario tanto desde el ámbito educativo como desde el ámbito profesional que se realice una adaptación de los planes de estudio del Grado en Pedagogía, tal como viene demandando el alumnado en años recientes, para que la formación de los futuros profesionales en este sentido se adecúe a las necesidades sociales y del mercado laboral.
