Coordination university teaching from the students‘ perception

The European Space of Higher Education and the configuration of the new university curricula have placed cooperative learning as one of the best methods for training of university students. However, this opportuniy to initiate cooperative practices in the university classroom performance does not correspond to teachers in the same direction. The faculty is anchored in a culture fundamentally individualistic and balkanized. This article presents an experience of innovation and improvement of the quality of teaching developed in the Faculty of Education at the University of Cordoba. Innovation focuses on two subjetcs of the degree of Education: School Organization and General Teaching. The objectives pursued in this study were: firstly, in relation to university students, showing a holistic view of knowledge through a set of educational proposals based on collaborative work and, secondly, in relation to our own training as teachers university, the creation and consolidation of a community of practice of a convergence planning, development and evaluation of teaching-learning processes relating to these matters. The article describes the setup of the faculty, the work plan designed and, finally, assessments of students about the experience. In the latter sense, the results indicate that students valued the teaching proposal as a positive and relevant training as future teachers. Similarly, coordination between the involved faculty has been one of the most valued dimensions.
