University teacher training and innovation for a transformative education: reflexive inquiry and research as a requisite.
Keywords:
Formación docente universitaria, educación superior, proyectos de innovación docente, práctica reflexiva, Scholarship of Teaching and LearningAbstract
Recientemente, la habilidad para reflexionar sobre la enseñanza y el aprendizaje se considera una competencia básica a desarrollar en la formación inicial docente del profesorado universitario y a potenciar a lo largo de sus carreras profesionales como docentes. No solo la reflexión sobre docencia sino la capacidad para investigar la práctica docente y los efectos de ésta en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes en el contexto de una disciplina, titulación e institución. Una de las principales funciones del Center for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education de la Zürich University of Teacher Educationes apoyar a los docentes participantes en sus programas de formación pedagógica universitaria en el desarrollo de las competencias reflexivas e investigativas sobre su propia práctica, o dicho de otro modo, promover su implicación en el desempeño docente desde una perspectiva académica (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning–SoTL)(Boyer, 1990) como forma de incrementar la calidad docente y hacer visible el aprendizaje de sus estudiantes (Trigwell, 2013). Consiguientemente, nos interesa evaluar el logro de dicho desarrollo de la capacidad de reflexión docente de los profesores universitarios evidenciada en los portafolios y proyectos de investigación que llevan a cabo como parte del trabajo principal del programa de formación. Esta contribución describe las propuestas teóricas que darán lugar a la herramienta para la evaluación de las competencias reflexivas e investigativas de los docentes.
