Problematics in the investigative function from the perspective of the university novel teacher

Abstract

At present the study of the problems of the university novel teacher is important for the generation of proposals that contribute to their professional development. The proposed objective allowed to establish the problems of the new university teaching staff in their investigative function. The research responds to a qualitative approach. The subjects investigated were 68 new teachers from the Central University of Ecuador. In the methodology, the analysis of interviews was used, through a structured base guide with the intention of understanding and interpreting the meaning of the stories of the protagonists. The results achieved, allowed to reveal that, of the total of participants, it was found that 65.84% of novice teachers, said that their problems in the investigative function, are due to institutional constraints. While a 29.19% of protagonists, said their problems respond to personal constraints. Finally, 4.97% of participants mentioned having no problems. It was concluded that the problems of the university novel faculty in their investigative functions are: the low research culture that prevails in the university community, the lack of support from the institutional authorities to allocate required budgets and the lack of academic training that teachers have in the methodology of scientific research.
