O profissional de Ciências Contábeis e o exercício da docência no ensino superior

Abstract

This study aimed to understand how the pedagogical training of the accounting professor in higher education occurs. In order to achieve this, a qualitative research was used, and as a methodological procedure, a bibliographic research was applied. The research construction was based on the analysis of bibliographic material from researchers who develop their research based on teacher training for higher education, as well as pedagogical training for accounting professors. In conclusion, it is observed that the pedagogical training of higher education teachers, specifically accounting teachers, is still a second plan issue, considering that these professionals divide their time in a double work day: teaching and the accounting profession. In this sense, it is understood that, although it is not mandatory, universities should encourage and value pedagogical training, understanding it not as a hindrance, but as one of the pillars of the university, which is quality teaching.
