This article shows a section of a research about the production of written texts in the university environment. Specifically we present the results about the academic genres written by the students of the Education degree, Basic Integral Mention, in the University of Los Andes, secondary seat of Táchira (Venezuela). The study is based on the notion of academic literacy (Carlino, 2005, 2013). The methodology was complementary (Cook & Reichardt, 2000; Creswell, 2009), with a predominantly qualitative approach in which the Grounded Theory was used, framed within the Interpretive Paradigm. In the field research, an interview was conducted with ten teachers and questionnaires were applied to teachers and students. The results show that the most requested academic texts are essays and exams. It has also been shown that the texts that students write respond more with the forms of evaluation that with a didactic approach, which are relief of the need to generate guidance on how to teach the requested genres.

Palabras clave : academic literacy; academic texts; discursive genres; teacher training.
