[ES] El desempeño profesional del profesorado universitario transcurre a lo largo de tensiones entre sus
diversas funciones, especialmente entre la docencia y la investigación. Es bien sabido que al menos
desde las dos últimas décadas, la Universidad española incentiva y valora más, en los diversos sistemas
de promoción, el curriculum fruto de la investigación que el de la docencia. Presentamos los resultados
referidos a la dualidad docencia‐investigación de la investigación realizada cuyo objetivo principal es
estudiar la cultura organizacional de las universidades catalanas.
La metodología utilizada es de corte cuantitativo‐cualitativo para la cuál se confecciona adhoc un
cuestionario y un guión de entrevista semiestructurada. Los resultados nos indican que se percibe una
cultura universitaria docente que debe cambiar hacia perfiles de intervención entre profesorado y
alumnado más interactivos, ampliando el uso de materiales didácticos con soporte TIC, con sistemas
evaluativos más diversos y centrados en las competencias a adquirir y menos en los contenidos
memorísticos. Respecto a la cultura universitaria investigadora se percibe la necesidad de la
internalización de la investigación, mayor participación en convocatorias competitivas nacionales,
europeas e internacionales y en la publicación de los resultados en revistas de contrastado prestigio
internacional. Y en relación a la primacía de la investigación sobre la docencia la percepción es de
descontento.
En conclusión tanto desde la percepción del propio profesorado como de los expertos
entrevistados como del análisis de los proyectos institucionales de las universidades se desprende la
necesidad de un cambio en las competencias docente e investigadora del profesorado universitario.[EN] The faculty's professional performance takes over tensions between its various functions, particularly
between teaching and research. It is well known that at least since the last two decades, the Spanish
University encourages and appreciates, in the various systems of promotion, more research than
teaching. The article shows results related to the duality between teaching and research of a study
whose main objective is to examine the organizational culture of the Catalan universities.
The methodology used is quantitative and qualitative nature for which we build an adhoc
questionnaire and a semistructured interview protocol. Results indicate that teachers perceive that the
teaching culture needs to change towards approaches of greater focus on students‘ learning,
enhancethe use of ICT , and use more diversified evaluation systems which are focused on desirable
competences rather than on content. Regarding research culture, there is a perceived need for
internacionalization of research, increase the participation in competitive national and international
research projects and ist consequent publication in high impact international journals. In sum, teachers
are displeased with the primacy of research over teaching.
As a conclusion, the academics‘ self‐perception, that of interviewed experts and the analysis of
university’s institutional documents clearly suggest the need for changes in the academics‘ teaching and
research competences.Tomàs-Folch, M.; Castro Ceacero, D.; Feixas Condom, M. (2012). Tensiones entre las funciones docente e investigadora del profesorado en la universidad. REDU.
