Mejoras en los procesos formativos: perspectivas en la Universidad Católica de Valparaíso.

Abstract

The challenge faced by this University is to recreate a new type of humanism from its own viewpoint and in accordance with its mission. The goal of teaching processes should be to have students achieve a sound basis in terms of principles, develop their skills and the competencies needed in a knowledge-based society. This needs to be accompanied by interdisciplinary work, good teaching quality and the formation of learning communities and the adequate use of interactive methodologies and new information technologies to encourage commitment to people, dialogue, mutual trust and participation in university activities. A process such as this can be fostered and promoted by three lines of work: developing values among young people, improving the quality of teaching processes and by self-assessment and accreditation of degree programs.
