Formação Pedagógica dos Professores de Ensino Superior na Universidade Angolana

Abstract

This article is an excerpt from the doctoral thesis in education held at the Faculty of Education and Communication of the Mozambique Catholic University and reflects on the Pedagogical Training of Higher Education Teachers at the Angolan University. It is an indispensable study for the achievement of the teaching quality since, at that university, teachers are the technicians who guide the teaching-learning process, without having pedagogical training. It aims at analysing how the process of pedagogical training of higher education teachers at the university in question occurs. The research is of an applied nature, it is a qualitative approach because the natural environment is the source for data collection and the researcher is the key instrument of descriptive research. The participating subjects are teachers trained, teacher trainers and managers of the pedagogical aggregation course. Documentary analysis, biographical narratives and semi-structured interviews were the instruments for collecting empirical data, the treatment of which used content analysis in the categorical and content analysis variants. The results found allowed to perceive the inefficiency of the course since it was alien to the institution and was conceived in an organizational culture and different contexts.
