Abstract
The article presents a proposal to strengthen the process of teacher evaluation at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador Ambato (PUCESA), from the perspective of positive psychology with strengths of character, to ensure the welfare of teachers. The Ecuadorian Higher Education regulations, regulate the evaluation of teaching staff, so the institution has established evaluation processes and models, whose application has registered in recent years, difficulties such as resistance to the evaluation process by its actors. It must be developed then, in an appropriate and motivating framework for teachers to reach standards, with the commitment and sense of belonging generated by applying control mechanisms within a positive and human framework, aimed at continuous professional and personal improvement. The research has an exploratory and descriptive scope, with a mixed approach, based on a non-experimental investigation, the analysis of information regarding regulations, teaching profiles and models was used, and a survey was applied to gather information. The proposal incorporates the strengths of character to the profile of competencies of the teacher of PUCESA, as well as activities aimed at developing strengths of an ideal nature for those evaluated and evaluators.
