QUIJADA LOVATON, Karin Yovana. Excellence of university faculty. Contributions for a state of knowledge. Sinéctica [online]. 2019, n.53.  Epub 28-Ago-2020. ISSN 2007-7033.  https://doi.org/10.31391/s2007-7033(2019)0053-016.

The objectives of this article are to construct a theoretical framework that supports the study of the excellence of university faculty in future research and to identify the professional traits that contribute to the successful development of teaching and research. Twenty-six articles in Spanish and English were reviewed, as well as three books which have been published on the subject in Mexico, Spain, the United States and China, whose most relevant contributions were systematically analyzed and grouped into three competencies: personal, teaching and scientific. The results allowed us to know that this is a polysemic concept that is under constant construction and that has gained importance in the last ten years due to educational policies that promote quality in universities. This practice contains a set of intellectual and social-emotional qualities and abilities that favor scientific production, the construction of meaningful learning environments, collegial work and a good relationship with the students.
