Abstract

The progressive, sustainable and equitable development of countries is only possible if they offer quality education (UN, 2018), understood as properties that manifest themselves in qualified actions. Therefore, good quality is intrinsic to the level of training of those who perform highly specialized actions for the use of the wealth of a country. This requires important commitments from Higher Education Institutions, especially in the training of research teachers.


    This paper highlights the importance of teacher training for doctoral thesis tutoring  and part of a research project whose objective is to identify continuous training needs of doctoral thesis directors is exposed; specifically, at the University of Cartagena de Indias. The purpose of the study is to determine guidelines that guide the design and implementation of a continuous training program to strengthen research knowledge and skills of doctoral thesis directors on updated scientific research procedures, methods and techniques. The program we propose is demanding, systematic and international, consistent with the global environment, seeking inter-institutional work and projection in the improvement for the achievement of inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities.
