Abstract

Resumen: En este trabajo se propone un modelo global que permita impulsar la implementación de Comunidades de Práctica (CoPs) y Redes de Práctica (NoPs) como instrumentos para mejorar el aprendizaje activo en las universidades. Se trata de diseñar un modelo en que los profesores puedan agruparse en redes locales de docentes (CoPs), insertas éstas a su vez en redes nacionales o internacionales, en las que la figura de expertos en diferentes metodologías activas resulta crucial. Todo ello, con el objetivo de superar los problemas y limitaciones derivados de la aplicación aislada y no uniforme de metodologías activas que, en términos generales, realizan los docentes de las universidades españolas. Los beneficios de crear y consolidar estas estructuras son múltiples, tanto para profesores, estudiantes, como para la propia institución. Ello ha de repercutir de forma indudable en una mejor formación del capital humano y social, al combinar conocimiento, el dominio de este conocimiento y la práctica compartida. En una universidad de calidad es esencial la capacidad de dar respuestas rápidas, eficaces y profesionales a las necesidades de los docentes a la hora de aplicar nuevas metodologías docentes y estas redes pueden convertirse en la respuesta a esta demanda. En este sentido, la acción colectiva tanto a nivel local como extra-local puede estar promovida por las instituciones, quienes además deben incentivar la movilidad presencial o virtual de los docentes y, sobre todo, promover la interacción entre docentes con el fin de mejorar de forma eficiente su propio aprendizaje activo en términos de metodologías activas. This paper proposes a global model to enhance the implementation of Communities of Practice (CoPs) and Networks of Practice (NoPs) as tools to improve active learning at universities on the principles of trust and sharing practice. We aim to design a model where academics can be grouped in local networks of teachers (CoPs), inserted in national or even international frames, where the presence of experts in active learning methodologies turns out to be decisive. The main goal of this scheme is to overcome some issues and limitations derived from the isolated and non-uniform application and use of active learning methodologies existing in the Spanish University context. The benefits of creating and consolidating the network approach to promote active learning with different levels are numerous, not only for academics and students but also for the institutions themselves, as it combines knowledge, shared domain and practice and an opportunity to organizational changes and intangible outcomes. In fact, we believe that enhancing teaching performance will benefit an evolving social learning model, a better training of human capital and therefore generating social capital. In a high-quality university context, the capability of providing a quick, effective and professional answer to academics’ needs on the use of active methodologies becomes a key factor. Institutional support should enable the collective action at the local and extra-local level. Besides, it can stimulate the face-to-face or virtual teacher’s mobility, and above all, to promote the interaction between academics with the final aim of improving their own active learning of active methodologies.
