Academic culture: the ability to read and write as an influence on the teaching practice of university teachers

Abstract

An issue that has received little direct attention in our country so far is that related to the culture of the teaching profession. In the university environment, reading is essential for learning and to satisfy learning needs, so reading is classified as a primary means of obtaining information, for learning and for practice. Practical reading and writing constitute the first of the academic culture, but this culture, in our opinion, acquires specific aspects of specialized training in education and scientific reading and writing in this sense, and ultimately repeating the research proposal that is coming developing in many universities in the country, seeks to find new research scenarios and reflect on what is constitutive of academic culture through the practice of reading and writing in our universities.
