La formación en docencia universitaria en Chile y su impacto en profesores y estudiantes

Abstract

Higher education in Chile is currently characterised by widespread growth and a heterogeneous student body, as well as a prevalance of quality assurance mechanisms. In this context, university teaching has become a strategic priority in the achieving of these aims. For this reason, different institutions have implemented teacher training programmes for their staff, with the aim of improving educational practices. However, there is little evidence about the impact of this training on educational improvements and even less about it on student learning.
