FEATURES OF THE UNIVERSITY WAY OF TEACHING BEST VALUED BY STUDENTS
IN DIFFERENT KNOWLEDGE AREAS
We have analyzed the educational performance of twenty-five professors
of the University of Seville using technical as depth interview and observation.
Those teachers are among the best evaluated by theirs students. In this
study, we have extracted some essential characteristics on teaching for
each teacher. Analysis of multiple correspondences has allowed to structure
the characteristics in professional activity of professors very valued
by two axes or dimensions: one axe is about trajectory and professional
activity and another axe is about educational methodology. These dimensions
reflect the existence of different models of quality in teaching associated
to the different knowledge areas.
Key Words: Higher education, teaching quality, teaching evaluation.

THE WORD OF THE OTHER. A CRITIQUE OF PRINCIPLE OF AUTONOMY IN EDUCATION
The main end of this article is to offer a critical analysis
of autonomy conceived as a basic idea in modern educational philosophy.
After the tragic experience and dramatic consequences of totalitarianism,
is not possible to defend a kantian concept of autonomy as a unique
source of moral responsibility and ethical action. After holocaust, we
need to defend, on the contrary, the principle of previous value
of heteronomy, conceived as the practice of otherness, in its levinasian
perspective. So, the authors explore the thesis of the prior value of heteronomy
on autonomy, as a source and foundation of moral responsibility in
educational relationship, and to reflect the general educational implications
of the jewish philosophical tradition of otherness in
philosophical educational discourse.
Key words: Otherness and Education, Educational Responsibility,
Autonomy and Education, Heteronomy and Education, Levinas.

SPANISH EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTION IN SSCI DATA BASE
This study examines the Spanish educational production inserted in
the SSCI (Social Sciences Citation Index) database from 1988 to 1997. It
quantifies the yearly productivity using direct data and ad hoc indexes.
Then, it clasifies the references retrieved, according to educational topics,
by means of content analysis. Data about educational journals and personal
productivity are given. And finally, it comments findings and makes inferences
which could help to improve the Spanish production in the field of educational
sciences.
Key words: Spain. SSCI database. Productivity data. Educational
production. Improvement of research. Educational research systems.

CAUSAL ATTRIBUTIONS, SELF-CONCEPT, AND MOTIVATION IN STUDENTS WITH
HIGH AND LOW ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
The aim of this work is to analyze the differential characteristics
of the students with high and low academic achievement in some variables
of cognitive-motivational nature. As a rule, the results indicate that
the group of high academic achievement attributes more their successes
to ability and effort, it has highest learning and achievement goals, and
presents a highest academic self-concept. On the contrary, the group of
low academic achievement attributes more their results of success to the
context; it attributes their failure results to ability and effort, and
their results of success and failure to luck.
Key words: Causal attributions, Academic self-concept, Motivation,
Academic achievement.
