The knowledge of the administrator: a look from the pedagogical strategies for an administration program at a public university in the city of Bogota

Abstract

This paper presents the proposal for the planning subject matters in terms of achieving student´s effective learning. The study is based on the American researcher Cody Blair proposal regarding the retention of knowledge from the pedagogical strategy used in the teaching process. An instrument with 29 pedagogical strategies was designed and conducted to teachers of the 46 subjects that make up the curriculum of an administration program in a public university. The results show that the 65.3% pedagogical practices for the development of subjects are active considering that they correspond to teach, practice, argue and demonstrate, while 34.7% are passive, corresponding to the use of audiovisual, listening and reading resources. The development of activities linked to relevant pedagogical strategies allows to achieve significant learning which is a great benefit to the students, as well as the productive sector and the higher education institutions.
