Cualidades y competencias del profesor universitario : la visión de los docentes

This research shows the characteristics of a good university professor from the perspec-tive they have about their own practice. To meet the objective, we opted for the qualitative approach with a phenomenological perspective, using the semi-structured interview as an information gathering technique and the method of constant comparisons for the analysis process. Among the most relevant findings is that all of the professors consider that a good university teacher needs both personal qualities and technical competences, but that the most important consideration should be a student centered education process, along with passion for teaching and the use of didactic strategies focused on learning.
