Descripción
Sumario:This work, developed by the Department of Teacher Training at the Faculty of Law (University of Buenos Aires), aims to present the experience of the first module of this training program, open to teaching assistants at the Faculty. This module focuses on content related to teaching the historical and political dimensions of the University. The first module of the Teacher Training Program, entitled "University Pedagogy," analyzes the transformations of the Argentine University throughout its nearly two-hundred-year history and seeks to focus attention on the notion of university crisis (a term frequently used to characterize us as an institution), referring to a crisis of meaning: What is the University? What is its purpose in the contemporary world? What distinguishes it from other professional training institutions? Therefore, throughout the sessions, a dialogue is established that, on the one hand, allows for a diagnosis of the University's situation (drawing on history and politics), and on the other hand, critically analyzes its place in society, in relation to the State, and especially in relation to the university community itself (hence the emphasis on the philosophical question of the University's purpose). The objective of this course is to introduce knowledge that will later be complemented by other subjects such as general and specific didactics, legal teaching practice, writing, argumentation techniques, and voice management, among others, over four semesters. The goal is to complement professional training with university pedagogy training that will enable teaching assistants to improve the conditions under which they teach
