Existen diversas concepciones acerca del perfil del docente universitario, pero los m?s difundidos a trav?s del quehacer del docente son tres: el primero, considerado por muchos como un perfil en decadencia (el tradicional), surgido de las ideas de Juan Amos Comenius y San Ignacio de Loyola, basada en la disciplina como componente fundamental en la ense?anza, muestra un docente due?o del aula y del saber, que dice la ?ltima palabra y que es valorado por su sapiencia. El segundo, es el denominado perfil por competencias que cuenta entre sus principales exponentes a Perrenoud quien considera que el docente actual para cumplir con la misi?n de formar profesionales competentes debe, a su vez, cumplir con una serie de competencias que le permiten desempe?arse con total idoneidad y cumplir a cabalidad con el encargo que le ha hecho la sociedad. Perrenoud y otros seguidores de esta concepci?n, presentan diferentes argumentos acerca de c?mo debe ser el docente "competente". Por ?ltimo, el Brasile?o Paulo Freire, concibe el ejercicio docente como una labor netamente humana, liberadora, de amor y de esperanza, que requiere de un docente que se conciba como parte de los problemas que aquejan a la sociedad, y no alguien alejado de ellos. Que piensa y siente como sus estudiantes, que no se concibe como due?o del saber porque sabe que ese saber lo construye en su accionar con los otros individuos con quienes interact?a, los estudiantes. La pregunta que surge una vez desarrollado este art?culo, es: ?Cu?l es entonces el perfil que m?s se adecua a las necesidades de la sociedad actual? no pensada esta sociedad s?lo desde los requerimientos econ?micos y sociales, sino, y ante todo, desde las necesidades ?ticas, solidarias, human?sticas que tanto aquejan a esta sociedad.
There are diverse conceptions of the university teacher profile, but the most widespread through the work of the teacher are three: first, the one which is considered by many as a profile on the way to decline (the traditional profile), this ideal of the university teacher emerged from the statements of John Amos Comenius and San Ignacio Loyola, who based discipline as a key component in education, where the teacher is shown as the owner of knowledge, who says the last word in the classroom and that is valued by his wisdom. The second one is the so-called profile of competencies. Among its main exponents emerged Perrenoud who believes that the current teacher should meet a set of skills that allow him/her to perform with complete suitability and fully comply with the commission that society has made, in order to fulfill the mission to train competent professionals. Perrenoud and other supporters of this view, present different arguments about how should be the "competent" teacher. Finally, the Brazilian Paulo Freire, conceives the teaching practice as a love and hope, liberating and purely human labor, which requires a teacher who is conceived as part of the problems society is facing, instead of someone away from them. He goes on to say that the teacher should think and feel like his students, avoiding the idea of being the owner of knowledge because he knows that knowledge is built on his daily labor with the individuals whom he/she interacts, the students. Therefore, the question that arises by the development of this article is: What is the profile that best suits the needs of today's society, not intended this society only from the economic and social requirements, but, from the ethical, solidarity and humanistic needs which are afflicting society nowadays.
