Co-teaching at university in Madrid: Student and instructor perspectives

Abstract

Co-teaching is not very common in Spanish universities, and it is mainly seen in student teaching for Education students. However, in the last few years through our research project, we have analyzed several co-teaching experiences at the university level in order to measure students’ view of the practice and its effects on learning and instructors' professional development. Results have been generally positive in courses pertaining to the Education and Translation degrees at one university, and the study has been expanded to a second university and other degrees. In this presentation we will share details about our research project, including the methodology employed, initial findings, and our future research plans.
