The historical processes of transformation that the education system is experiencing are the result of the social needs that are driving the changes and the reformulation of established systems. From this perspective, teaching practices at the University level must consider the new responsibilities that transcend the role of the teacher, in order to improve the processes of teaching and learning in an efficient manner and with quality. The objective of this research is to identify the characteristics of a good University faculty member according to the perception of the students. This research was based on a case study with students from the Faculty of education at Autónoma University of Chile, Talca headquarters. The methodology used in this study is mixed, with qualitative and quantitative instruments that helped to collect data through questionnaires of open questions and interviews in depth, giving account of the results with complementary perspectives that identify the most relevant characteristics, according to the students’ perceptions, of the performance of good university teachers.
