Impacto de la formación del profesorado universitario: Aspectos metodológicos y propuesta para futuras investigaciones
Resumen
Este artículo presenta un resumen de cuatro investigaciones empíricas que afrontan la falta de evaluación sistemática de la formación del profesorado en la educación superior. Tres estudios examinan el impacto de la formación en los estilos de enseñanza de los educadores, las percepciones de los estudiantes acerca del comportamiento docente de aquellos, los enfoques de los alumnos y sus resultados de aprendizaje. Un cuarto estudio examina el impacto individual a largo plazo (en las concepciones de enseñanza del profesorado y el comportamiento docente), así como algunos aspectos del impacto institucional. Atendiendo a una evaluación crítica de los resultados y al diseño metodológico de los estudios, se sugieren vías para futuras investigaciones: las condiciones que favorecen el impacto, la triangulación de datos, el impacto a largo plazo y el impacto institucional.Palabras clave
