To achieve the goal of new model of teaching and learning based on learning process and shift the paradigm of learning as centered teaching, the Higher Education Institution have defined a new profile of the university teachers. This action expresses three characteristics presented in this paper: the first refers at the profile as "product" of a Community of Thought; the second refers to "participated process", a working model that allowed the co-construction of the profile with the teachers, the administrative and the human resources staff of the universities; the third presents the tools and technologies used in integrated way (Virtual Collaborative Learning Environment based on Web 2.0, the human resource Management, video-research, e-portfolio). The project - developed by action-research - has defined an shared idea of teaching´ quality, research-based and supported by tools that allow self-assessment of every teachers, to monitor the quality of universities, to develop plans of continuous improvement building a community of learning. There are presented some qualitative and quantitative data of research. |
