The article deals with teachers' beliefs about time in education and understanding the subjective theories of teachers in the Coquimbo Region.

An article by academics from the Department of Psychology of the University of La Serena, Pablo Castro and Ingrid González, has been published in volume 56 - N°2 of the journal Psychology and Education, indexed in Scopus. The publication addresses teachers' beliefs about time, which has been identified as a relevant dimension for the construction and interpretation of teacher professional knowledge.

The objective of the work was to understand the subjective theories of teachers from the Coquimbo Region with different years of work experience and who teach students from varied groups in socioeconomic stratum. 

This article reports results of a DIDULS Regular project conducted by the two ULS academics who are the authors of this work, in which Raúl Zuleta, David Cuadra (U. de Atacama) and Cristián Oyanadel (U. de Concepción) also participated.

“Based on qualitative methodology, it was found that the subjective theories of the participating teachers have a negative emotional meaning, are subordinated to other theories and preserve action. Consequently, their subjective theories contain explanations with external attribution and not controllable over time, which could generate limitations of changing actions with respect to time management,” the publication states.
