WALKER, VERONICA S.. THE UNIVERSITY TEACHING WORK AND ITS EVALUATION: POLICIES, TENSIONS AND CHALLENGES. Educ. rev. [online]. 2020, vol.36, e221045.  Epub Aug 06, 2020. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698221045.

As part of the implementation of policies to assess quality in higher education systems worldwide, the evaluation of university teachers has gained special relevance. This article analyses the policies of evaluation of the university teaching work in Argentina and Spain identifying purposes, objects of evaluation, instruments used and agents responsible for the evaluation. In addition recovers the perceptions of teachers from different universities on the incidence of evaluation processes in their daily work. The results presented are the product of the review of the literature on the subject, the documentary analysis on the two countries and empirical research realized during the period 2012-2017. The analysis allows us to recognize tensions between the particularities of the object and the characteristics of the evaluation processes.

Keywords : University; Policy assessment; Teaching work; Perceptions.
