Assessing of Good Teaching Practicesthrough Systematic Observation. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.3, pp.913-922. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy14-3.vbpd.

The best teaching practices, an issue of particular relevance in determining the quality of higher education, requires different forms of measuring design. A big part of good practice in teacher performance corresponds to behaviors developed by the teacher in the classroom, which can be measured and analyzed using observational methodology. The study evaluates ten teachers from the University of La Laguna (Spain) and seven from Guadalajara (Mexico). Their behavior was coded using a rating scale and the behavioral interaction patterns with students were coded using the Observational Protocol of Teaching Functions (Protocolo de Observación de Funciones Docentes, PROFUNDO_UNI). The lag sequential analysis extracted significant patterns related to the feedback given to questions from the students, the reinforcement and the encouragement given to the students for their participation.

Keywords : best practices; teacher evaluation; observational methodology.
