ABSTRACT University systems with a high level of academic inbreeding tend to be closed to attracting (inter)national talent, while instead prioritizing retention of the human factor in the institution and the stabilization and continuity of internal bureaucratic dynamics. The literature suggests that levels of academic inbreeding depend on both institutional and structural factors within the universities

ABSTRACT We present an analysis of the productive structure of Spanish research catalogued with the descriptor ‘teacher training and employment’, carrying out a bibliometric analysis of 905 works using the TESEO database as well as the publications derived from these works and the h-index of their authors and directors in Scopus and WoS.

ABSTRACT In recent years, Spain has been far and away the leader in records of publications on education in indexed international journals. For several years, the accreditation requirements of university professorates have included publications on education in indexed journals. This study reports that Spain’s leadership in publications on education dovetails in time with the inclusion of these requirements

ABSTRACT The teaching–learning model in higher education has changed markedly in the past decade. A static approach in which students were passive subjects of their own learning processes has now given way to a dynamic model in which students are actively centred. In this context, it is essential to test teaching–learning models that promote students’ new role, as well as their effectiveness in helping

ABSTRACT Currently we find greater inclusion of people with functional diversity at university; however, the attitude and training of university professors is found to be the main barrier. The objective of this study is to analyse the inclusive processes that university professors carry out to meet the needs of students with functional diversity and to identify how the variables of gender and training
