Abstract

Based on an inquiry with faculty members of business administration programs, the present research attempts to suggest the likely relations between the professional profile of the interviewees with their current lecturing practices, more specifically the teaching and evaluation technologies. These relationships were explored through a survey with circa two hundred faculty members. The paper begins with a brief overview of the business administration programs'current situation in Brazil. Then, the profiles of faculty members are presented followed by their lecturing practices and the consequential implications of such elements in the quality of business teaching. After these introductory explanations, the results of the survey and the analysis of the data is presented. With the help of descriptive statistics, a profiling of the specialists, masters and doctorates was made together with the description of the lecturing and evaluation practices. For the "test of proportion differences" the Chi-square test was performed. Finally, the paper concludes with final considerations based on the empirical findings, suggesting general guidelines regarding the quality of business administration teaching at college level.
