Retos institucionales de la formación del profesorado universitario

2013 
El Grupo Interuniversitario de Formacion Docente (GIFD) esta formado por las unidades y centros de formacion (ICE-UB, IDES-UAB, ICE-UPC, CQUID-UPF, ICE-UdG, ICE-UdL, ICE-URV y eLC-UOC) de las ocho universidades publicas catalanas. Estas unidades actualmente se encuentran en un proceso de reformulacion de las actividades y planes de formacion que estan ofreciendo al profesorado universitario para facilitar el desarrollo de su actividad docente. El replanteamiento de sus actuaciones nace de un interes comun vinculado a la calidad de la formacion docente del profesorado universitario, coherente con los planteamientos promulgados por el Espacio Europeo de Educacion Superior (EEES). Este interes y preocupacion conduce al desarrollo de un estudio de identificacion de las competencias docentes que debe poseer el profesorado universitario para abordar con exito el desarrollo de las nuevas titulaciones de grado acordes con el EEES. Ademas este trabajo recoge un cuestionamiento y reflexion en relacion a las principales caracteristicas que deberian tener las actividades y programas de formacion dirigidas al profesorado para facilitar su tarea docente; apelando a la labor que, tanto las unidades o centros de formacion, las instituciones universitarias a las que pertenecen y los organismos vinculados a la accion docente, deberian replantearse para dar respuesta a las nuevas exigencias docentes requeridas al profesorado. El objetivo del trabajo es provocar la reflexion y generar el debate sobre el camino que debe seguir la formacion docente del profesorado universitario, como elemento estrategico de la institucion, para contribuir a alcanzar los objetivos de calidad a los que las universidades se han comprometido en el proceso de verificacion de los nuevos titulos. ABSTRACT Institutional Challenges of university teacher training. The units or training centers (ICE IDES CQUID, ELC) of the eight public universities in Catalonia, constituted as Interuniversity Group on Teacher Education (GIFD), are currently undergoing a reformulation process concerning the training activities and plans being offered to university teachers, in order to facilitate the development of their teaching activity. The rethinking of their actions is born from a common interest linking the quality of university teachers’ training with coherent approaches in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). This interest and concern has led the group to conduct a research study with the objective of establishing a set of standard teaching skills for the faculty staff to master, with the purpose of successfully undertaking the development of the new degree courses in line with the directives of the European Higher Education Area. This paper contains a thorough examination and analysis regarding the main features that activities and training programs aimed at teachers should include, in order to facilitate the performance of the teaching activity itself, by focusing at the work of training units or training centers, at the academic institutions where they belong, and at the related agencies, and by requesting them to update their educational tasks in order to meet the new requirements that the role of teachers demand. The aim of this work is to stimulate thought and to generate a debate on the direction that university teachers’ training must follow, not only as a strategic element of the institution, but also contributing to achieve the quality objectives to which universities have committed themselves in the process of validating the new degrees.
