ABSTRACT
Background: departments are the corner stone in teachers’ training. Considering teachers’ needs as a starting point, they should strengthen collaboration and teamwork with an institutional vision. Objective: to analyze the integrated working accord of teachers in the departments of the headquarters of the Faculty of Medical Sciences. Method: a development research was conducted including working accords of 163 teachers in 12 departments of the headquarters from November to January 2011. A questionnaire was conformed and applied to the heads of departments. It included: characterization, educational teaching work, methodology, research and professional training. Results: 93.8% of teachers have at least basic educational training, there are 64 teachers included in research projects (39.3% of faculty). In teachingeducative work we should continue to increase the amount of teachers incorporated to examining boards, tutoring scientific work and collaborating with students living in the schools’ residence. In methodological work we still do not achieve 100 % enrollment of teachers in the preparation of subject matters. Only 34.4 % of teachers conduct research on pedagogy and 55.2 % must publish the results of their scientific research. Conclusions: the balance of teachers’ working accord is a useful tool for the process directives management. It allows improving the department’s management and reorganing tasks that enhance professional development.REFERENCES
