That less than half of university professors in Chile has a doctoral degree or master's evidence one of the main weaknesses of higher education. Neither in Europe nor in America there are quality schools whose faculty do not have 90% with postgraduate degrees. In contrast, in Chile, according to data supplied by all the houses of study, only 44.6% of teachers in the system has an academic degree. Figure breaks down into 27.6% of master's and 14.4% of doctorates.
A deficit that, according to experts, lies in the strong growth experienced by the university system in the past two decades. Increased number of institutions, but the supply of teachers with academic degree does not increase enough to supply the market.
"In Chile, with the massification of higher education, are engaged what is available in the market, yet universities are tending to academic excellence," says Maria Jose Ramirez, Department of Evaluation and Studies U. Diego Portales.
Something that fits the academic vice chancellor of the U. Development, Sergio Hernández: "In American schools there is no teaching facility that has no degree doctor. Is the standard that must be Chilean universities if they want to compete internationally, and the students themselves and the market will require that to happen. "
efforts Chilean universities to improve the preparedness of their teachers begin to be felt, while still warm, last year, according to data recorded by the Que Pasa, 13% of teachers in the system had doctorates, three points less than in 2007.
Partial versus plantAlthough the percentages of graduate between university professors are still low, another key issue is the incorporation of doctors and master the full or plants Average rating: almost 57% of academics in the university system has a doctoral degree or master's works in these procedures.
This aspect is not minor. While a professor with an academic degree is always better, the real contribution comes from teachers with doctoral degrees who work full time. It is they who do research and generate knowledge that permeates the teaching.
