Diagnosis of a teacher training programme in competencies for the first year of university

Abstract:

The research focused on teacher training based on competences has coincided in synthesizing a map that takes up all those considered essentials This article shows the results of the diagnosis and assessment that the first-year faculty of the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil-UCSG gives to the teaching competencies of planning, communication, media integration/digital, evaluation, innovation and investigation as components of a professional development program. For this purpose, a mixed approach of quanti-qualitative methodological complementarity was applied deepening in the analysis of data from both approaches, focusing on the analysis of content of open questions and focus groups. The results allow us to conclude that the competencies most valued in practice by the participating teachers are: media integration/digital and planning, and the least research, evaluation, communication and innovation.
