Nowadays, the student-centered education and the incorporation of new information and communication technologies are acquiring a great relevance. The effective implementation of these two aspects requires changes in the work of teachers and their conceptions of teaching. These conceptions of teaching are reflected in the activities they perform and can be an obstacle or promote the inclusion of these aspects. This study analyzes the conception of teaching face to face, mixed and online courses from university professors face to face. The study design was descriptive and qualitative with a sample of nine university professors´ who taught courses face to face. The professor answered an open-ended questionnaire about their conceptions of teaching of those modalities and the responses were processed through content analysis. The results showed that the professor conceptions of teaching online are predominantly negative; the conceptions of teaching mixed is seen as new experience that can be enriching while keeping the idea of distance between teacher and student and the conception of teaching face to face was a constant dialogue between teacher and student, a teacher role as facilitator and a student as constructor of knowledge.References
