How do university teachers instrument the executive finctions in the exercise of their profession?

Abstract

This research project corresponds to a descriptive study that aims to specify the use of executive functions in teachers of the careers of Business Administration, Agrarian Administration and Advocacy at the Universidad Siglo 21 at the headquarters of Río Cuarto. The population was made up of all the teachers of the aforementioned careers, whose sample was selected through accidental non-probability sampling. To evaluate executive functions, the self-administered questionnaire "Jordan Executive Function Index", previously suitable for this purpose, was used as an instrument; evaluating attention, inhibition and organization. In this instance, it seeks to reach conclusions on the data collected that will allow, in the future, to design an interactive audiovisual material with multiple strategies that can be implemented by the university in teacher training. They will have the purpose of promoting the use of these functions, thus improving teaching performance and, therefore, positively influencing the education provided by the local university.
