Levels of trust in college teachers

Abstract

This chapter considers how trust becomes a key concept in higher education in a conceptual framework led by social capital. This research shows a way of measuring a qualitative variable as the confidence in quantitative terms, to find the current relationship between students of administration programs and related fields at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia that have 60% or greater progress in their careers, and their teachers. Initially a survey was conducted to identify the trust in a relationship student-teacher to identify key aspects that are relevant for the education field. The information collected was analyzed through statistical methods, and based on the results of the research, students have an upper middle-generalized trust; however, looking for autonomous education, strategies should be implemented to improve these results, so that students are able to find a greater motivation and satisfaction to develop their knowledge.
