Resumen

This article presents the design of a study to measure and understand the motivational characteristics of university professors from a Faculty of Sciences who are interested in improving their knowledge and teaching skills. The instruments used were two surveys. Both were integrated and applied in online format translated from English. Both surveys had been validated in North American universities, asking a total of 33 questions that included demographic characteristics and four aspects to evaluate, effort, interest, specific personal efficacy and general personal efficacy. A Likert scale is used and the results will be used to see the characteristics of the teachers linked to the motivations to teach and the growth mindset.
