Abstract

ZAPATA J, Carlos Mario; GOMEZ A, María Clara  and  ROJAS L, Miguel David. Modeling teacher-student confidence in college teaching. educ.educ. [online]. 2010, vol.13, n.1, pp.77-90. ISSN 0123-1294.

The problem posed by a lack of representation of the factors involved in the confidence college teachers inspire in their students is addressed in this article. The objective is to represent that bond of confidence, based on its intervening factors. A qualitative method was used, with information gathered through teacher assessment surveys at several institutions to determine the factors that have the most impact on building confidence in teachers. The conclusion is that course content, command of the subject and communication skills are the factors that contribute the most to this relationship.

Keywords : College teaching; college teachers; professor-student relationship; interactive education process; higher education.
