Quality teaching at higher education institutions: Teaching effectiveness in the field of physics

It is presented one proposal for pedagogical intervention to improve the teaching and learning of

physics in higher education institutions. The project is a training of 12 hours for professors concerning

teaching and learning of Physics. The aims of the proposal are to identify the factors and conditions

that favor learning, to concretize short, medium and long term pedagogical plans, as well as to train

with the teachers participants the writing of pedagogical aims, the differentiated and strategic

application of models and methods of teaching, to apply and to create evaluation instruments; all of it

will be based on constructivist alignment and in SOLO taxonomy. This kind of project can be restructured

to other kinds of contents, such as Mathematics, History, or even a specific content of one

subject, the Mechanics, in a course of Physics. This paper can be used as a guideline to establish a

course to teach teachers so that the student's learning can be effective and profound.
