Dialogremos, Nuevo Modelo de Evaluación Docente en Educación Superior

There is a continuous necessity to improve and support the evaluation of teaching in a clear transparent and objective way. This article aims to present the work performed to develop a novel model for teaching evaluation at a Higher Education Institution. This model is unique due to its principles and characteristics, such as the placement of the teacher at the centre of the evaluation and the recognition of the value of the teaching practice. The model is built within the context of an institution and is oriented towards continuous improvement. This paper describes the steps taken to design the instruments based on a mixed methodology which included polling, statistical analysis and focal groups with professors, students and university administrators. What stands out among the results is the innovative and intrinsic design of the model of teaching evaluation and the various instruments derived from it; which were distinctly designed for each educational level and subject area.
