LEITE, Carlinda  and  RAMOS, Kátia Maria da Cruz. The relationship between teaching and the Reform of Higher Education as a result of the Bologna Process: perceptions of University of Porto professors. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2014, vol.39, n.3, pp.593-609. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v39i3.28578.

At the end of the 20th century, as a consequence of the Bologna process, the effects of the discourse of a movement demanding reform of higher education curricular processes, started to be felt. This movement also demanded an acknowledgment that higher education teaching requires a pedagogical-didactical knowledge which goes beyond the professor's specific field of knowledge. Against that background, this paper sets out to analyse the above-mentioned discourse and its implications for teaching. To do so, it presents a study undertaken at the University of Porto, which gathered professors' opinions by means of a questionnaire. This study pointed to the existence of paradigmatic tension reflecting dilemmas for the reconfiguration of higher education teaching.

Keywords : Higher Education Reform; Higher Education Teaching; Teaching; The Bologna Process.
