Teaching competencies in administration higher education: the view of three university undergraduates in Bahia

Abstract As the result of wider research on higher education teaching in the field of Administration, this article sought to identify the competencies that make up the profile of the excellent professor in the area of Management from the perspective of undergraduate students in Business Administration. The research adopted a qualitative and quantitative approach, using the Collective Subject Discourse as a strategy for data analysis. The empirical material was collected from 87 undergraduate students from three universities in the state of Bahia. Based on the analysis of the empirical material, we identified 44 characteristics that characterize the outstanding teacher in the Administration area, although only 22 factors were further investigated due to their representation. It is worth noting that such factors corroborate previous research on the topic (MARSH, 1991; FRIEDMAN, 1999; LOWMAN, 2007; PAN et al, 2009; DELANEY et al., 2010) and, to some extent, add details arising from the presentation of collective discourses.

摘要 本研究系行政管理领域高等教育教学相关广泛研究的成果，旨在从工商管理专业本科生的视角，界定管理学领域优秀教授的能力画像构成要素。本研究采用定性与定量相结合的研究方法，以集体主体话语（Collective Subject Discourse）作为数据分析策略。实证研究素材取自巴西巴伊亚州三所高校的87名本科生。通过对实证材料的分析，我们共识别出44项用以表征行政管理领域优秀教师的特征，但鉴于其中22项因素具备足够的代表性，仅对这22项展开了后续探究。值得注意的是，上述因素与该主题此前的相关研究（MARSH, 1991; FRIEDMAN, 1999; LOWMAN, 2007; PAN et al, 2009; DELANEY et al., 2010）相契合，并在一定程度上通过集体话语的呈现补充了相关细节。
