Teaching pedagogical performance and learning of university students in the Education career

The main objective of the study was to determine the connection between teaching performance and the learning of students of the majors in Early Education and Primary Education, during the second semester of 2016, who joined to the Faculty of Education and Social Sciences of the National University of Ucayali-Pucallpa in 2014. The research design was non-experimental, transversal, and correlational-descriptive. The sample consisted of 94 students of the two programs. Two instruments were applied. The first one helped to measure the teacher performance, which was divided into four dimensions-teaching-tutoring, teaching-learning process, research, and university extension-social projection-segmented in 27 items with a Likert type scale. The second instrument was used for measuring the learning, which was divided into three dimensions-superficial perspective, deep perspective, and high-performance perspective-segmented in 33 items with a Likert type scale. The conclusion was that there is a high degree of correlation between teacher performance and student learning, thus inferring that teacher performance positively influences learning.
