U17 - VIII Encuentronacional y V latinoamericano. La universidad como objeto de investigación. La reforma universitaria entre dos siglos ∙ UNL ∙ 2017: Prácticas de Excelencia docente: una construcción innovadora para la Universidad Santo Tomás –USTA- en clave de transformación social

Abstract

The Santo Tomás University recognizes the teacher as an important actor in the face of the processes inherent to the academy and hence the need for their own development. Within this framework, the teaching processes must respond to the training needs of the students of this century, but above all respond to the realities of Latin American contexts. This is how from "the text of the teachability" have been strengthening in the last 3 years, didactic processes and learning assessment, through the "pre-text" of the Recognition of Excellence Tomasina, with four categories: Practices of excellence for teaching and learning; research and innovation; the interaction and impact with the environment; and academic-administrative management, promoting that teachers began to be imbued in pedagogical innovation and articulated in the classroom the substantive functions of higher education.
