| Sumario: | In this new millennium in which technology and science have become most important, there emerges the necessity to be updated with all the changes raised in the “field of knowledge.” Due to this, higher education institutions have the challenge to integrate in this “Globalized world.” In this respect, institutions are constantly checking and improving their curriculum in which there are specialized courses that require special attention and preparation by the professors in charge of those courses. For example, in El Salvador, the Don Bosco University has created a training program for professors who are in charge of such subjects, even though it has not been put into practice yet. Also the university college of Dublin (UCD) has a program to support academic staff in their teaching and learning role within the university. Thus, its main goal is “to enable professors to refine and improve their teaching skills by the application of theoretically validated methods.”(University College of Dublin, 2005).
