| Sumario: | The academics -as members of a professional community- are fundamental actors of the university system since its members develop the functions of teaching, research, extension and they are part of the government of public universities. However, the research background recognizes that, both in Argentina and in Latin America, the academic profession develops in a problematic scenario due to multiple factors that especially affect to the assistant professors. The present study is part of the international research APIKS (Academic Profession in the Knowledge-Based Society) that is being carried out in more than 30 countries on all continents. The methodological design involved the application of a self-administered survey to a representative sample of professors from national universities in Argentina. Based on the results of the study, the magnitude of certain problems that affect the development of academic functions in Argentine national universities can be quantitatively dimensioned, and the opinion of academics about working conditions can also be known. This article is expected to contribute to the design of university policies aimed at strengthening the general conditions of academic work. |
