How to introduce the research in the university teaching: a training experience in the Universitat Politècnica de València [Teacher Hub]

Abstract

[EN] In this work we present the project of initiation to the Educational Research-Action (INED), within the pedagogical training program for university teachers organized by the Institute of Education Sciences (ICE), of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). This project responds to a need for a group of teachers that starts with a professional background and requires training to advance the process of professionalization of teaching, aligned with the concept of scholarship and the movement generated around it. The proposal is formulated as an action research to promote the improvement of teacher training models in higher education. Therefore, it involves a methodology close to the learning communities, so that both the design and implementation involve professors from the university with a background in educational research (6 mentors), pedagogical advisors and experts in different subject areas related to research in higher education. In this first edition of INED, 25 professors participate and have been selected according to criteria of teaching experience, participation in educational innovation projects and pedagogical training received in different formats.
