Abstract

Background

The study reported in this paper analysed how tertiary teachers assessed a number of competencies, such as information search and communication, organization, and analysis, and decision making among others, every undergraduate student is expected to learn during his/her university studies.

Method

Trigwell and Prosser's (2004) Approaches to Teaching Inventory (ATI) was administered to first-year lecturers along with a list of core competencies.

Results

Analyses showed that opinions as to which competencies are highly essential for students varied in terms of teachers’ approach to teaching, sex, and branch of knowledge. Most participants, however, assessed “Communication skills”, “Time management”, “Critical thinking”, and “Application of knowledge” as the most important competencies for students.

Conclusions

Preliminary results provide an insight into which competencies are regarded as most necessary for students and may guide universities as they prepare for the evaluation and accreditation process they are soon to face upon implementation of programmes.

教师对大学生核心能力感知的初步研究

本研究分析了高等教育教师如何评估大学生在大学学习过程中需要学习的能力，如信息搜索与沟通、组织与分析、决策等。方法trigwell和Prosser(2004)的教学量表方法(ATI)与核心能力清单一起对一年级讲师进行了管理。结果分析显示，教师对哪些能力对学生至关重要的看法因教师的教学方法、性别和知识分支而异。然而，大多数参与者认为“沟通技巧”、“时间管理”、“批判性思维”和“知识应用”是学生最重要的能力。初步结果提供了一个洞察哪些能力被认为是最必要的学生，并可能指导大学，因为他们准备评估和认证过程中，他们很快将面临的实施方案。
