Relationship between the learning experience of undergraduate students and the teaching they receive from their teachers.

Abstract

This article provides the outcomes from a research about the association between ways to address the learning of undergraduate students and the teaching from their teachers. Results show that those who deeply address their learning tend to have positive perceptions of the learning situation and to participate in courses where the teachers focus on their students and the conceptual change. It proposes practices for undergraduate teaching and promotes researches in the field. In relation to practical proposals, it suggests to promote a teaching academic development in line with the research results. With regard to future researches, it proposes to replicate this study in different contexts, to investigate on how students address the learning processes in specific careers or courses and to evaluate in which ways the teaching development may change the teachers' practices.
