Epistemological beliefs of professors-researchers of higher education

Abstract

This study is an extension of one previous the same authors published in Issue 3 this year, in whichtwo academics were interviewed with a twelve questions instrument developed by the authors. Nowwe have included the results of the semi-structured interview to another eight professors, trying toportray their epistemological beliefs’ profile. The main ideas that are common among them are: howthey visualize students, the lack of students’ fundamental skills, the conviction that doing researchimproves the updating of their teaching, and the way most of them prioritize curriculum instead ofstudents.
