PEREIRA, Liandra  and  BEHRENS, Marilda Aparecida. Desenvolvimento docente no ensino superior: visibilidade e atuação profissional. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2010, vol.05, n.01, pp.39-46. ISSN 1809-4309.

This text presents some reflections based on a thorough review of studies carried out by the PEFOP (Educational Paradigms and Teacher Education) group on teaching performance in higher education. The complex scenario of teaching activity and the challenges imposed by daily academic tasks were investigated in order to specify some indicators used by students to qualify teaching activity at university. It could be observed that such indicators interfere with the evaluation of the professors’ performance. The investigation also showed how professors deal with the required institutional evaluations, whose indicators and metric indices cause concern. Finally, a qualitative field research based on a semi-open-ended questionnaire was carried out with 89 students from a community university.

Keywords : Higher Education Teaching; Professional Performance; Teaching Profile.
