Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the "Training needs of the faculty of the Special Education Unit Sacred Hearts, of the province Azuay, Cuenca, period 2012-2013". The main problem is to identify the true needs that surfaced against teacher development quality standards and teachers´ performance to new training policies. This is a study of quantitative and qualitative information, which used a survey technique by applying the “Training needs” questionnaire, structured and validated by the UTPL, to 25 participants. For the analysis and discussion of the results the following methods were applied: inductive, deductive, analytical and synthetic. For its presentation, the statistical method was applied. The conclusion obtained was that the institution’s teachers’ greatest deficiency lies in the “design of tools for self-assessment of teaching practice (evaluation of the course and the teacher)”. Consequently, the proposed training course presents the design of four self-assessment tools: checklist, scales, rubrics and portfolio.
