La no continuidad de los estudiantes en la Universidad desde la perspectiva de los docentes.

Abstract

We will herein steadily advance in analyzing what are acknowledged to be the reasons why the university teachers, who are the students in this specialization, have discontinued their learning process and those issues shall appear in the process of our deliberation.Even though the responsibility of discontinuity has, by consensus, been assigned to those professional teachers unable to sustain their student ́s condition, we personally understand that it is absolutely relevant to assume both the multidimension of the phenomenon and the need of investigating the educational and pedagogical conditions that determine the professional teacherscareers.The present research paper (RP) leading to this communication aims at analyzing and exploring the professional careers of the first professional teacherscohort who attended the Major in Higher Educational Teaching (MHET) at Río Negro University. Various lines of research have been undertaken for this project. The present one deals with the reasons why professional teachers attending the specialization in higher education have discontinued their learning process. For this reason several entries into the field have been carried out through surveys, interviews and focus groups during the different stages of such process in order to hear the voices of those professional teachers.Studentscontinuity and final graduation have always been issues of paramount importance. As a matter of fact, both issues are actually shared not only by most of the universities and institutions that constitute the tertiary system but also by this current research team.In this respect, it is worth mentioning that reflecting upon the different views on the subject does entail necessary adjustments; the underlying idea being that university teaching practice is a practice which needs to be investigated in pursuit of continuous improvement.
