Fundamentos metodológicos de la construcción de perfiles docentes universitarios

Abstract

In the framework of a research project, the training trajectories of those who study the Specialization in University Teaching at the National University of Río Negro are analyzed. A first study focuses on characterizing the teachers enrolled in the first cohort in 2019, through the construction of profiles. This article proposes to describe the theoretical, methodological and operational work that involved the formation of these profiles. Initially, the use of the notion of profile as a data ordering strategy is analyzed. Then the classification processes used are made explicit, which gave rise to the five profiles identified, providing details on subsequent uses in the research. As a conclusion, it is reflected on the usefulness of these research strategies to address the multidimensionality of the research object.
