Abstract
Teaching methodologies that university faculty use are varied but in Spain, traditionally, the lecture has been the main method used. This is where the teacher has been the focus of teaching and the student is a mere receiver of knowledge, but in other places such as England, other techniques have been introduced to help students actively participate, helping the learning process significantly. This has been a great help for adaptation to the European Higher Education Area with the implementation of the Bologna Process. That is why countries with long traditions of theoretical teaching, as is the case in Spain, have undergone a complex and traumatic process during the adaptation period. In Spain there has been a change of roles by both the faculty as well as the students and that has led to some mistakes when implementing new working tools such as seminars and workshops. The research presented makes a comparison between the faculty teaching in the Primary School Teaching Degrees at two universities; one Spanish and one English, for the Bologna process to check the similarities and differences when working and thereby obtain information needed to improve the process in Spain.
Highlights
In Spain the universities have been charged with a great responsibility to address vital issues such as culture, How to cite this paper: López, A.R., Ochando, H.M.P. and Cabezas, M.F. (2015) Research Comparing University Teaching within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) between the University CEU Cardenal Herrera in Spain and the University of Bedfordshire in England
The LRU states that the university is the best social organization to undertake the development of scientific and technical advancement required for the incorporation of Spain to developed and advanced industrial societies
The research conducted is of a quasi-experimental character, of the analysis of the needs of university faculty in their psychopedagogic training and the use of the teaching methodology framed within the European Higher Education Area, which has seen significant methodological changes in the university, for which university faculty do not have enough tools to cope with a teaching method with an innovative curriculum that focuses on student work and not on the teacher as the sole issuer agent of the teaching-learning process
Summary
This important role that the university holds is affected by social and political changes even though article 27.10 of the 1978 Constitution gives autonomy to universities. The LRU states that the university is the best social organization to undertake the development of scientific and technical advancement required for the incorporation of Spain to developed and advanced industrial societies. This law tried to offer a new university system that reached the quality of teaching and research required, as well as establishing a framework for the renewal of academic life, while respecting universities’ autonomy
