With the implementation of the European Higher Education Area, Spanish universities have developed structured and organized training plans to promote professional improvement and the enrichment of teaching-learning processes. This issue is also affected by the Organic Law 2/2023, of 22 March, on the University System (LOSU). This study aims to identify what is understood by quality university teaching in the framework of the training plans developed and what type of teaching knowledge is desirable for Spanish university teaching staff. To this end, a descriptive study of the plans of seventeen Spanish universities was carried out, identifying the presence-absence of structural elements through the calculation of statistics, specially, frequencies and averages. Subsequently, a content analysis of these elements was carried out in five of these universities. The results show a lack of contextualisation of the plans; a deficient analysis of specific needs; an absence of impact assessment and of the training plan itself; as well as a training offer with modalities that, in general, are aligned with a sum of generic courses. In conclusion it is highlight that the quality of teachers' functions is linked to efficiency and improvement, but the meaning of the term quality and the steps towards this goal are not delimited.
