Teaching In Higher Education

O artigo, decorrente de uma pesquisa do tipo Estudo de Caso, tem como foco a docência no ensino superior e a formação continuada, numa Instituição de Ensino Superior pertencente a uma rede privada de ensino, localizada no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Participaram do estudo 28 docentes, sendo 4 do Curso de Administração, 4 de Biomedicina, 3 de Ciências Contábeis, 10 de Direito, 4 de Fisioterapia e 3 de Pedagogia, sendo deste grupo 14 do sexo masculino e 14 do feminino, cujo tempo de atuação na referida Instituição situa-se entre 0 e cinco anos.  Para a coleta dos dados, foi aplicado um questionário com questões abertas e fechadas. Os dados foram categorizados em quatro eixos temáticos, por meio da aplicação da Técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Os achados indicam a relevância da formação didático-pedagógica articulada aos conhecimentos específicos da área de atuação como um dos fatores que contribuem para os processos de ensino e aprendizagem. Também, o incentivo e a promoção da formação continuada, por parte da Instituição em que os docentes atuam, são elementos considerados necessários para o aprimoramento da ação educativa no ensino superior.Palavras chave: Ensino Superior.

The study included 28 teachers from the following courses: Administration (4), Biomedicine (4), Accounting (3), Law (10), Physical Therapy (4), and Pedagogy (3); this group consisted of 14 males and 14 females, whose time performance in that institution was between 0 and five years. To collect data it was used a questionnaire with open and closed questions. Data were categorized into four themes, through the application of content analysis technique. The findings indicate the importance of teaching-training pedagogy articulated to the specific knowledge of the area of operation as one of the factors that contributes to the teaching and learning processes. Also, the encouraging and promoting of continuing education, by the institution in which teachers work, are elements considered necessary for the improvement of educational work in higher education.Keywords: Higher education.

ResumenLa investigación de la docencia universitaria ha sido un campo ampliamente explorado en los países anglosajones pero escasamente abordado y debatido en nuestro país. El presente artículo tiene como propósito contribuir en el debate del fortalecimiento de la docencia universitaria chilena a través de la propuesta de “Scholarship of Teaching” desarrollada porBoyer (1990), lo cual implica nuevos desafíos para las instituciones de Educación Superiory los actores que forman parte de ella.Palabras clave: Docencia Universitaria - profesor universitario - scholarship of teaching- indagación reflexiva. Teaching in higher education contexts: the contribution of "the scholarship of teaching" to strengthen the teaching conducted by university professorsAbstractResearch on university teaching, an extensively explored field of study in Anglo-Saxons’countries, has been hardly examined and debated in Chile. By using Boyer’s “Scholarshipof Teaching”, the aim of this paper is to make a contribution on discussions on how to strengthen Chilean university teaching, which entails new challenges for higher education institutions as well as players that take part on it.Keywords: University teaching - university teacher - scholarship of teaching - practitionerinquiry.

Teaching In Higher Education

Технологии меняют образ жизни и деятельность человека. Глобальная сеть Интернет облегчает быстрый доступ к полезной информации. Социальная, культурная и образовательная конкурентоспособность находятся под влиянием образовательных технологий, которые положительно влияют на стиль, продолжительность и метод обучения в высших учебных заведениях. Дистанционное образование возможно применять и как полноценную самодостаточную форму, и как дополнение к классическому обучению в аудиториях. Автор рассматривает в статье дистанционную форму обучения как альтернативу традиционной форме преподавания в вузах на время периодов самоизоляции (пандемии, сезонные карантины), а также как дополнение к традиционным формам обучения. Анализируются проблемные и положительные аспекты применения данной формы. Указаны возможные форматы обучения в условиях дистанционного образования. Выделены сильные и слабые стороны использования некоторых технологий. Technologies alter the way of living and work of a person. The Internet world network makes it easier to quickly access useful information. Social, cultural and educational competitiveness are influenced by educational technologies that positively influence the style, duration and method of education in higher education institutions. Distance education can be used as a full-fledged self-sufficient form, or as a Supplement to classical training in classrooms. The author considers distance learning as an alternative to the traditional form of teaching in higher education institutions during periods of self-isolation (pandemics, seasonal quarantines), as well as as an addition to traditional forms of education. The problem and positive aspects of using this form are analyzed. Possible formats of training in the conditions of distance education are specified. The strengths and weaknesses of the use of certain technologies are highlighted.

Purpose Urban flooding in developing countries of the Global South is growing due to extreme rainfall and sea-level rise induced by climate change, as well as the proliferation of impervious, built-up areas resulting from unplanned urbanisation and development. Continuous loss of traditional knowledge related to local water management practices, and the de-valuing of such knowledge that goes hand-in-hand with globalised aspirations, is inhibiting flood resilience efforts. This paper aims to address the need to include traditional water knowledge (TWK) in urban living and development processes in the Global South. Design/methodology/approach This paper commences with a review of existing frameworks that focus on natural resource management, critically assessing two existing frameworks of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). The assessment of the existing approaches contributes to this paper’s development of a novel framework to promote TWK with regard to resilience and risk reduction, specifically for developing flood adaptive strategies, which is the second stage of this paper. Finally, the paper explains how the framework can contribute to the field of urban design and planning using examples from the literature to demonstrate challenges and opportunities related to the adaptation of such a framework. Findings The framework developed in this paper reveals three proposed vertices of TWK, named as place-based landscape knowledge, water use and management and water values. This framework has the potential to produce context-specific knowledge that can contribute to flood-resilient built-environment through urban design and practices. Research limitations/implications The framework developed in this paper reveals three proposed vertices of TWK, named place-based landscape knowledge, water use and management and water values. This framework has the potential to produce context-specific knowledge that can contribute to flood-resilient built-environment through urban design and practices. Originality/value Within the field of TEK research, very few researchers have explored the field of developing flood resilience in an urban context. The proposed TWK framework presented in this paper will help to fill that gap.
