MELGAR, María Fernanda  and  ELISONDO, Romina. Metacognition and good practices in the university. What aspects do students value?. Innov. educ. (Méx. DF) [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.74, pp.17-38. ISSN 1665-2673.

This work presents an evaluation of the values constructed by students with regard to teaching proposals carried out in three subjects in the bachelor’s degree programs of Psychopedagogy and Special Education of the National University of Río Cuarto (Argentina). The goal is to identify, through metacognitive reflections, good teaching practices in the university. The research was carried out during the academic year of 2016 and 95 degree-track students participated. To collect data, we used a survey with open answer items that investigate the valuation of different components of the teaching process. Additionally, various aspects are analyzed in order to improve teaching proposals, and possible paths are suggested for future plans. The results indicate that the majority positively values the educational practices in contexts outside the classroom, the development of innovative proposals for the presentation of curricular content and classes with invited specialists. New lines of research and educational innovation are proposed.

Keywords : Creativity; educational evaluation; learning activities; metacognition; student experience; teaching.
