The initial pedagogical training of university teachers: repercussion on the conceptions and practices of teachers

The present paper studies the repercussion of pedagogic training on the teaching conceptions and beliefs within a group of novel teachers regarding the teaching activity and advantages contributed by training on their teaching practice. It is a case study in which 12 novel teachers, from different knowledge areas in the University of Barcelona (UB), have taken part. Results show that teachers taking part in the training course for university teaching have adopted more critical and reflexive approaches regarding both their own teaching practice and the prevailing teaching tradition in their faculties.
