The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.

We have analyzed the educational performance of twenty-five professors
of the University of Seville using technical as depth interview and
observation. Those teachers are among the best evaluated by theirs
students. In this study, we have extracted some essential
characteristics on teaching for each teacher. Analysis of multiple
correspondences has allowed to structure the characteristics in
professional activity of professors very valued by two axes or
dimensions: one axe is about trajectory and professional activity and
another axe is about educational methodology. These dimensions reflect
the existence of different models of quality in teaching associated to
the different knowledge areas. Víctor Álvarez Rojo, Eduardo García Jiménez y Javier Gil Flores Key Words: Higher education, teaching quality, teaching evaluation. |
