La formación de licenciados en física en la Universidad Distrital: Una mirada desde los estudiantes

Abstract

In the present work is highlighted how it's currently important to ask about quality processes in the training of professionals in the field of education given the importance of these individuals in a social and cultural context, as they contribute to the development of the country. The state has been concerned with guaranteeing the training of graduates capable of satisfying current educational needs, proposing laws such as: "Law 30 of 1992", "Law 115 of 1994" etc., these bringt consequence the creation of entities such as the "national accreditation council" which has the mission of monitoring and inspecting that higher education institutions fulfill with the highest quality requirements. With the aim of supporting the processes of self-evaluation and accreditation carried out by the Universidad DIstrital Francisco Jose de Caldas (Francisco José de Caldas District University) and more specifically in the proyecto de licenciatura en Fisica ( Curriculum project in bachelor in physics), it becomes a research topic to know who is trained as undergraduated students, thus generating an overview of the profile of the teacher in training taking into account demographic, economic, academic and perceptions about their experience in the PCLF. The information presented in this document is obtained from the Condor data system and from the application of a focus group survey; referring to the latter, through 56 questions classified into 4 categories: socioeconomic, PCLF, learning and teaching. The results obtained and their interpretation in the light of the outlined theoretical and methodological referents throw a panorama about who is who is trained as a professor of physics currently in the UDFJC, it is expected that this work will contribute to the strengthening of the self-assessment and accreditation processes that advance in the program, as well as the genesis of other curricular investigations that are required.
