The Pedagogical Practices in the University: Subjects and Knowledge

  • Jesús Manuel Rodelo Pérez Universidad Autónoma de Occidente

Abstract

The objective of this work was to characterize and explain the pedagogical knowledge present in the teaching practices of university teachers. From the analysis of the narratives of the professors around their knowledge and experiences in the field of teaching, it was sought to apprehend the ways in which university professors construct such knowledge. Based on a qualitative methodology, 40 unstructured open interviews were applied to teachers from the Autonomous University of the Western Region of Culiacán. The sample was based on a list of the essential attributes of the subjects under study, following the procedure that Goetz and LeCompte (1988) call a selection based on criteria. In the results, the teachers reconstruct their teaching acts in a reflective exercise in which the disciplinary knowledge is manifested as the axis of their teaching, while the pedagogical knowledge remains on the margin, making itself present in the resources and devices with which the teachers, in the field of their pedagogical action, develop strategies of action that facilitate the teaching-learning processes.
