Calidad del docente universitario en la carrera de educación en la UISRAEL, Ecuador

The fundamental objective of this article is to diagnose the educational quality that the university professor of the Education degree demonstrates in his praxis, at the Israel Technological University (UISRAEL), located in the city of Quito. He relied on the theoretical references of Kant (1985), Aristotle (1985), Touriñan (2019), Freire (1985) (1971) (1997) and Valleys (2021), among others. It is a mixed or complementary study; from the quantitative point of view, it is descriptive and projective. It presents a transectional- field design, the survey was used as a technique and the questionnaire as an instrument, analyzing the indicators: clarity, dynamics of the subject, perception of learning, professional and technological training and research. From the qualitative perspective, observation was used as a technique and the Observation Guide as an instrument. The population consisted of 126 students of the Education career, which were taken entirely. It was possible to detect, from the quantitative perspective, that the quality of the teacher of the Education career is within an “acceptable” level of quality. From the qualitative point of view, although the majority demonstrate a high level of quality, there is a minority of teachers who demonstrate insufficiencies in their educational praxis, such as: communication with their students, content updating regarding the graduate profile, expository strategies without intentionality to encourage critical thinking in students and lack of motivation to their students. A teacher update program is recommended.
