Proceso de ASC - LAS CARACTERISTICAS DEL DOCENTE QUE FAVORECEN EL APRENDIZAJE DEL ESTUDIANTE DEL FUTURO

Abstract

There is an interest in knowing the competencies of university teachers that facilitate student learning, however, the definition of the concept of competency is a great challenge, since in the literature it is found that the definitions given by the authors vary according to the contexts and cultural aspects. The competencies of university teachers have been studied by different authors for more than 30 years. Europe and the United States have made important efforts to define a theoretical consensus; however, in Latin America there are few studies on the subject. It is for this reason that this qualitative study was carried out, in which 15 in-depth interviews were carried out with expert teaching professionals, to explore the most relevant competence(s) that facilitate student learning. from the point of view of experts. The findings reveal a competency approach based on the skills and abilities to perform and demonstrate a specific task; "Know to do"; and based on the behavioral aspects of the individual towards others; “Know how to be.” However, there is a consensus among those interviewed that extensive knowledge in the discipline; "Know"; It is an intrinsic condition of the teacher, but it does not guarantee the success of learning in students.
