Abstract

This research was aimed to determine the level of matching between the pedagogical demands the Competencies Formation Model (CFM) puts on university teachers and those expressed by university students. For this, we have constructed a model of what would constitute a "Competent University Teacher" according to CFM and compared it to discourses of students participating in eight focus groups including 54 students from University of Chile. Results indicate that while there are numerous overlapping areas between both demands, there are also relevant differences in understanding planning, evaluation, outcomes, responsibility and teaching of the educational process, showing that students are more conservative in their demands than the model.
