Abstract
LUNA SERRANO, Edna; RUEDA BELTRAN, Mario and ARBESU GARCIA, María Isabel. Formation and development of a network of researchers for the evaluation of teaching. RMIE [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.30, pp.971-993. ISSN 1405-6666.
This article describes the process of forming the Red de Investigadores sobre Evaluación de la Docencia (Network of Researchers for the Evaluation of Teaching). It addresses the purposes for forming the network, analyzes the network’s decade-long presence, and presents members’ arguments for continuing to work as a team. Their reasons include the possibility of help in developing similar projects, exchanges in work styles and the respective theoretical and methodological approximations, companionship, and the academic development of participants. The article summarizes the group’s products and results, and concludes in favor of associations of researchers based on a genuine interest to produce knowledge, and on the need to recognize favorable social settings for attaining this end.
