BORGOBELLO, Ana; PERALTA, Nadia  and  ROSELLI, Nestor. Teaching styles at univesity: qualitative and quantitative analysis in two disciplines taught and two classes' types. Liberabit [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.1, pp. 7-16. ISSN 1729-4827.

This paper shows the results obtained from a class observation instrument in two different cases: One in a Human Science class and the other in an Exact Science class. The tool registered, from the oral verbal expressions and the learning resources used as well, the teaching styles of the professors observed (chief of class and auxiliary in each case). The data analysis was done in two ways: by relating the teaching style to the types of classes (theoretical and practical) and the subjects taught (Human Sciences or Exact Sciences). Results show differences between the teaching style according to the type of class and according to the subject taught. The first ones deal with classical lectures or based on students activities either theoretical or practical; the other ones are concerned to the discursive teaching of the Humanistic subject and closer to images, as in the case of exact epistemes.

Keywords : Teaching Styles; Lectures Types; University Level.
