Improving learning environments through the promotion of Good Teaching Practices in Medical Specialties, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de Chile

Abstract

The School of Medicine intends to begin the transformation of its educational spaces, assuming the responsibility of promoting good teaching practices, consistent with the quality of the training to which it is committed.
Given the particularities of this problem, it was appropriate to determine the barriers and facilitators for good teaching practices, through a case study from the qualitative paradigm, analyzing the speeches of academics directly linked to clinical teaching. The methodology for data collection was through a retrospective and interpretative content analysis of 442 narratives, coming from
308 participants of the homonymous course "Good Teaching Practices", whose approach was inspired by the SoTL approach, with the aim of developing and
enhancing the training process, improving the committed learning outcomes.
Based on the scientific evidence generated, the identification of facilitators and barriers resulting from this study was crucial, since it constitutes a well-founded
orientation to the institution regarding the specific aspects in which it is urgent to intervene both in the empowerment of facilitators and in the overcoming of barriers within the framework of educational quality, and in this way, generate
guidelines for the entire educational community.
