The aim of this paper is to show those situations that teachers and students of the baccalaureate subsystems of the National Autonomous University of Mexico identified as problematic and whether this selection is related to aspects of belonging to the subsystem or to the profile of those who responded. The method used consisted of a survey applied to a sample of n=854 teachers and n=9,285 students. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, in addition to a binary logistic regression analysis. The results show that in the case of the teachers, the subsystem is not predictive in relation to the problems they identified. While in the case of the students, the subsystem and gender are predictive variables in the choice of situations as problematic. These results are valuable because they help to understand how teachers and students at this level experienced the pandemic based on their profiles, which allows us to build proposals for attention in post-pandemic times.

This paper seeks to describe and comprehend the motivations of teacher-researchers in two public state universities in Mexico to participate in knowledge and technology transfer processes. Ten subjects interested in knowledge transfer processes were considered for this study; in-depth interviews were conducted to understand their readiness to produce and transfer knowledge. The results reveal that subjects develop a disposition and the skills to seek changes in social reality based on values such as altruism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the teaching practices and beliefs of university teachers in the city of Temuco in Chile. To that effect, twelve university teachers working with fourth and fifth-level students in a health degree were asked open-ended questions. Data analysis followed the principles of grounded theory (GT) methodology. Open coding was used for the analysis, which produced the category 'Teaching practices and beliefs' and four sub-categories: 1) educational planning, 2) teaching methodology, 3) an epistemological model of teaching, and 4) the micro-curriculum. The results of the study show that, as part of their teaching beliefs, teachers place value on practices that make it easier for students to participate and be active in class, but which are also inflexible and restricted by aspects such as planning and previously established programs. Consequently, they need to examine the basis of their beliefs and pedagogical knowledge more thoroughly to inject new meaning into their work in the classroom, thus improving education at this level.

The teacher training for effective implementation of teaching of the nature of science (NOS) is a key issue in the current science education. In this paper, we expose the main components of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) for NOS, as knowledge base that a professor of science has to get in their professional development. We propose an integrative PCK-NOS model, several contexts to display the NOS in the classroom, and the use of an explicit & reflective approach. The science teachers training must pay attention to the pointed aspects, and the science education should investigate them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To include practices in the teacher training of our University has been a controversial topic with a vision mainly "depending on application" regarding the practice field: first, students must learn theory, then (in the last year), practices must be done to transfer all that amount of theory to the practice. h e aim of this paper is to present the model of ATT (Articulated Teacher Training) studied through Action Research in the last two decades, which includes the practices as an epistemological, ethical, political and didactic core of change. What do students learn in these practices? Which is the situated reality of the classroom? In these interactions they learn to use the practical reasoning in front of real problems which challenge them to consider possibilities, to discuss, to give their opinions and to take decisions. They also learn --as Arendt states-- to live together, ones and others with diversity, to "build" together; basic political training that guides youth towards peace defense and against injustice.

During the last years the University has evolved from an institution which focused on the study of different natural and social phenomena to becoming the focus of research. This paper shows part of the results of a research on the effects of social changes in the work and professional life of university teachers. The professional life history has been the strategy chosen to approach the changes in the lives of teachers and researchers. As a result of studying and comparing 24 life histories, there appears a group of different topics which have different meanings for the participants in this research. Their analyses show there is an increase in stress and pressure on teachers who are forced to carry out three completely different activities: teaching, researching and having managerial positions. This text presents the situations teachers have to face in a working context which is becoming more and more demanding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is based on the professional biographies of six professors identified as excellent by senior students in three programmes at the School of Humanities, Mar del Plata State University. In-depth interviews examined the teachings and practices these instructors encountered along their educational biographies in order to find traces of these experiences in their current lives. The aim is to disclose the subtle ways in which the past influences their academic present. The life histories retrieved reveal the importance of the actors' mentors at the onset of their teaching and research at the university. The recovery of these memories allows the conceptualization of experts' role in the education of novices, thus examining what is traditionally considered as the informal supervision of teaching assistants and junior researchers. In this way, we try to create a site at the university where it is possible to discuss mentors' good practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In science teaching variety of knowledge takes part: that of sciences, that of the scientist, the academic, that of the professor, the daily one, that of the student. In this paper a journey for some models of constructivist's focus is carried out, until arriving to the didactics of the French school, in an attempt to show the elements of the didactic situations of important development in mathematics teaching. The intention is to show that this didactics could be welcomed in the teaching of sciences, since its proposal offers to the process of teaching-learning and in particular to the ternary relationship professor, student and object of the knowledge elements for a didactic development that can guarantee the appropriation of the knowledge on the part of the student.

In the field of Social Sciences, and particularly in the field of education, it is not simple to approach research models or paradigms because there are frequent discussions raised around this topic in dichotomy terms, sometimes antagonistic. It is possible to meet different stances in relation to the generation of scientific knowledge, that is, in relation to the way of «producing science,» which implies thinking of models or paradigms that support the different research logics. The objective of this paper is to characterize the main research models or paradigms in education with the purpose of carrying out a methodological analysis of the Research Project: «Professional Socialization Referents in Universidad Nacional de Rio Cuarto teachers» (Argentina). In the first part a characterization of the models or paradigms is developed; in the second part, a synthesis of the mentioned Project is presented, and in the third part both an analysis and justification of the project is carried out.
