This research product aims to determine the cross-sectional teaching skills required for the work of professors in undergraduate Psychology programs. A methodology guided by the qualitative paradigm, the historical hermeneutical approach and the ethnographic method was employed. Information was gathered in the field work using an unstructured interview administered to professors of undergraduate Psychology programs. Category data were systematized in matrices built based on Delors’ pillars of education. The discussion was structured on the basis of the triangulation technique, the reviewed theory on the subject matter and the researcher’s point of view. This allowed the conceptual elaboration of eleven cross-sectional teaching skills. In short, the cross-sectional teaching skills resulting from this research respond to the multiple dimensions in which the human being develops and evolves and to the needs and demands of higher education in the 21st century world.

Keywords : Qualifications; teacher qualifications; transversal teacher qualification; university professors; higher education teaching personnel; vocational training.
