MERIDA SERRANO, Rosario. New Perceptions of Professional Identity of University Faculty in the Presence of the European Convergence. REDIE [online]. 2006, vol.8, n.1, pp.1-18. ISSN 1607-4041.

This work provides a critical reflection on the repercussions emanating from the process of European convergence and how these affect the ways in which university faculty perceives their teaching. The construction of a professional identity implies, among other things, the assumption of a determined mode of situating oneself in the presence of the construction of students' knowledge. From Europe come suggestions for the adoption of models focusing on student-based learning that invite teachers to use participatory methodologies for managing the classroom, while designing strategies for more flexible performance. Here we present a comparative analysis of the functions traditionally assumed by university faculty and those indicated by the European convergence, based on an analysis of the diverse elements that make up the curriculum.
