Relationship between Teaching Styles in the Master of Science Teaching and the Undergraduate Program

Abstract

<p>This is a quantitative investigation with a correlational scope that aims to establish the existing relationship between the preferred style for teaching resources and strategies and the initial professional training of teachers from the District’s Department of Education in Bogota. Fonseca’s teaching styles test was applied in order to determine them. The sample consisted of 118 students from the Master of Science Teaching from Universidad Autónoma de Colombia. Results show that science teachers’ preferred style for teaching resources is the conference style, while teachers of the initial training in basic sciences program prefer the workshop style. The least preferred style is the prose style.</p>
