Abstract

This paper describes the result of a quantitative, explanatory study that was carried out in order to determine the variables that influence the presence of beliefs about learning- and student-oriented teaching in university teachers. A random sample of 105 teachers participated, using a higher education adaptation of the McCombs & Whisler (1997) survey. The results show that beliefs related to new paradigms coexist with traditional beliefs, and that variables such as the level of scholarly education and hours of teacher training contribute to the presence of beliefs that focus on learning and students.
