VALERIO URENA, Gabriel y RODRIGUEZ MARTINEZ, María del Carmen. The profile of the university professor from the student perspective. Innov. educ. (Méx. DF) [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.74, pp.109-124. ISSN 1665-2673.
This study aims to identify, from the university student’s perspective, the most important characteristics of the professor as a facilitator of the learning process. Using qualitative and exploratory techniques, we applied surveys with open answer questions to 487 university students: 184 Spanish students in the field of health sciences, and 487 Mexican students in various fields. The results indicate that, regardless of the country, almost 68% of the references to factors that the students consider fundamental to their learning are related to the professor profile. The following competencies of the instructor are particularly important: clear and confident communication, enthusiastic attitude and empathy with the students. Additionally, the teacher practices that the students considered most relevant are: linking theory and practice, dynamic and interactive classes and the use of real experiences.
