Evaluation of the Faculty of Information and Communication curricula

the role of teachers in the implementation of training proposals with flexible pedagogical approaches

Abstract

Since 2012, the university careers of the Faculty of Information and Communication (archives, libraries and communication sciences) have implemented curricula designed in accordance with the provisions of the Graduation Studies Ordinance and other Higher Education Programs of 2011. The study project has aimed to optimize the implementation of the study plans and improving the quality of university teaching. The realization of instances of exchanges with professors to enhance the knowledge of the study plans, discuss strengths and weaknesses, and reflect on the teaching role in the framework of curricular flexibility were proposed. The methodology was of a qualitative type, with group interviews, complemented with quantitative data from a survey, and the holding of a final meeting. Among the results, there is an indistinct use in conceptualizations about the study plan, curriculum, and implementation, which is not used as an instrument in the orientation of students. Finally, there is interest and the need to create spaces for the discussion on the study plans and their implementations.
