CASTRO-DURAN, Lilian et al. Profile of the Trainer of Trainers: A Systematic Literature Review. Educ. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.25, n.1, e2514.  Epub Aug 08, 2022. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2022.25.1.4.

The professionalization of university teaching has promoted extensive efforts, both by the Educational Systems and Higher Education Institutions themselves, to develop teaching skills in those who have the mission of training professionals in different areas of knowledge. The objective of this work was to build up a profile of a trainer of trainers’ skills. Firstly, a systematic review of Spanish-American and Anglo-Saxon literature, including 58 articles published in the last five years, was carried out. Subsequently, the comprehensive analysis established ten emerging categories, grouped in three dimensions: pedagogical, investigative, and cross-cutting. On the one hand, this result shows academic community’s great interest in searching for skills or qualities that a trainer of trainers must demonstrate. On the other hand, the reviewed documents reveal that those who work in academia agree that the first two dimensions above correspond to the actions of a trainer. Likewise, with a broad presence in the consulted literature, the cross-cutting dimension makes known those interpersonal competencies related to the use of ICT and attention to diversity.

Keywords : Teacher qualifications; teaching skills; higher education; university education; trainer of trainers.
