Recent changes in the role of Spanish lecturers in economics and business: an empirical analysis based on their own perspectives
研究了西班牙大学经济学和商学教师对新教学方法的看法，发现教学变化主要源于学生新特点而非法规要求，且教师普遍认为教学投入增加，需要严格的评价体系。
In recent years many changes have taken place in the Spanish University system and, as a consequence, the university lecturer’s role has evolved and a new teaching style prevails. The present paper focuses on University teachers of Economics and Business studies. It explores the teachers’ perception about the new methodologies that they have implemented, the extent to which the process of change has modified their way of working and, finally, the benefits and drawbacks encountered. Moreover, we examine whether differences of opinion arise depending on the distinct personal and professional characteristics of each teacher. The results reveal that most of the methodological changes undergone by the teachers stem more from the new profile of their students than by regulatory obligations. There is a unanimous opinion that the time and effort dedicated to teaching is now notably greater and that it is necessary to develop a rigorous system of teaching evaluation.
