Resumen
The main objective of this work was to specify the teaching models of university professors in order to find out whether they meet the requirements of the European higher education area (which upholds a learning-centred model with pedagogical competencies). We found two models, one of them learning-centred and the other one teaching-centred, with two intermediate models. A group of professors (around 48% of the sample of 326 professors) fitted with the constructivist learning-centred model, and this group was subdivided into two, one of them more learningcentred and with more teaching and assessment abilities than the other. We also found another group (around 52% of the professors), teaching-centred and which used traditional methodologies. This group was also subdivided into two, one of them more traditional and with less teaching and assessment abilities than the other. These results demand the attention of the university managers and also the design of rational offers of training that help the professors to acquire the necessary pedagogical competencies.
