DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF TEACHING PLANS IN HEIS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

 The importance of the teaching plan in the context of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), highlighting its role as a detailed guide for the educational process in a subject. The teaching plan organizes content, teaching methods, activities and forms of assessment, ensuring efficiency in achieving learning objectives. In addition to promoting transparency and coherence in pedagogical practices, it aligns institutional expectations with student needs, creating an organized and predictable learning environment. The construction of the teaching plan follows steps that involve the definition of clear learning objectives, the choice of appropriate pedagogical strategies and the integration of educational technologies. Pedagogical strategies include lectures, group discussions and case studies, which contribute to active and diverse learning. Assessment, within contemporary methodologies, adopts a formative and continuous approach, in contrast to the traditional model of one-off assessments. This approach allows adjustments to the teaching process in real time, providing constant feedback and reinforcing assessment as a learning tool.
