Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación realizada en una institución de educación superior, con el propósito de conocer las características de un profesor inspirador y aquellos factores y prácticas docentes que resultan más significativos para los alumnos cuando evalúan a sus profesores, a fin de generar estrategias para mejorar el desempeño docente. Se utilizaron métodos de investigación mixtos (cuantitativo y cualitativo). Se aplicaron entrevistas y cuestionarios a profesores, estudiantes y administrativos; también se hicieron observaciones de actividades y reuniones. Los factores analizados fueron la práctica docente, la formación académica, experiencia en el ámbito profesional, edad, género y otros. Los resultados indicaron que existe relación entre las características personales y de práctica docente con los resultados de la evaluación del desempeño de los profesores. Se logró, además, identificar las características y prácticas de mayor significancia para esta relación. Se concluyó, asimismo, que las generaciones actuales son exigentes con el desempeño de sus profesores y cuestionan el porqué de cada actividad y la utilidad de la misma para su futuro profesional. Palabras clave: Evaluación de profesores; Desempeño del profesor; Educación superior; Evaluación del desempeño; Práctica docente; Profesores universitarios.
