La formation pédagogique des professeurs dans l’enseignement supérieur

Abstract

This paper analyses the contribution of training courses implemented by university centres for teaching and learning to the effective improvement of quality of higher education by measuring the impact of these courses on faculty teaching practices. Our research conducted in Antwerp examines the effects of a one-year course for beginning teachers and researchers on teachers, their students and the university. The presentation and discussion of methodology and the findings of three empirical studies are followed by the analysis of its consequences in terms of faculty professional development and support.
