Abstract

This year has started with the project "Monitoring and Evaluation of the Quality education improvement (2012-2016)" through the cooperation between the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and the Multidisciplinary Regional Faculty of Carazo, UNAN- Managua. Its development aims to improve the quality of education through the reflection and provocation of the teaching work change.

It was decided to conduct a case study in FAREM-Carazo so that it can be taken as an example to develop in other faculties. For it, there is an interdisciplinary and interfaculty UAB team with interest and experience in teaching innovation. Also, all professors of the department participated, who are coordinated by MSc. Juana del Socorro Rodriguez Lara, delegated by the FAREM-Carazo.

Since January 2016, the first workshop "Teaching Portfolio" is directed to 62 permanent professors from Educational Sciences and Humanities, Economics and Management Sciences, and Technology and Health Sciences departments. The objective of the workshop is related to the domain and development of the teaching portfolio as a tool for reflection and improvement, to enhance competencies in their education, and to create their teaching folder in the established periods.

In early August, a second workshop on "Monitoring and Evaluation of the Teaching Portfolio" was developed, in which it was allowed to check the qualitative and quantitative advance of it, as well as the reflection of its work as a teacher and training, needs university professors have, by culminating with the delivery and presentation of the teaching portfolios.  The result was very positive, and it will continue with the formation of the voluntary assistance of part-timers professors.
