Resum La trajectòria i el desenvolupament docent del professor universitari estan influïts per la successió de models docents positius i negatius, però també per altres processos significa-tius de tipus personal (l'experiència docent i professional prèvia, les concepcions sobre docència, les creences, les rutines, el coneixement professional pràctic…), familiar (expe-riències familiars, una parella docent…), institucional (les polítiques de promoció, selecció, formació i avaluació, recursos…), contextual (perfil dels estudiants, perfil dels estudis…) i social (canvis tecnològics i socials…). Tots intervenen en la seva activitat professional i poden contribuir a millorar o limitar el seu desenvolupament professional en certs moments de la carrera docent. En funció de la naturalesa de la resposta del professor envers el canvi, la intensitat del seu desenvolupament pot variar. Paraules clau: desenvolupament professional, professor universitari, factors limitadors, factors promotors, trajectòria docent.
