The objective of this research is to characterize and analyze the context of the pedagogical practices of university professors, through the Active Course Assessment VAC, carried out by the students of the Universidad de la Costa. This consists of a technological tool that, in real time, generates a diagnosis of the classroom process (classroom climate, curriculum, didactics and evaluation), which allows the professor to establish routes in the face of the early warnings that the instrument shows and to take actions for the improvement of his process. The present study was of an exploratory nature, in which the distinctive attributes of the teaching practice were identified in 3651 students, finding as main results, a recognition of the teacher's disciplinary appropriation, the sense of cooperation in the teaching-learning process and the promotion of curricular democratization in the management of the different subjects. Other relevant topics prioritize the need for the professor to connect with other disciplines, generate feedback on the student's independent work, as well as on the learning evaluation process. All this contributes to the current discussion on pedagogy in Colombian universities.
