Resumen: At present, higher education plays a crucial role in the transformation, construction, and development of societies. Spending time on exploring the identityconfiguration of teachers could generate instruction and guidance processes that should take into account their cognitive representations, discourses, and actions within their teaching practice at a personal level; The objective and intention of this study are to demonstrate how significant events of university professors have over time influenced and determined their professional identity. This research is qualitative as it follows the principles and postulates of grounded theory, which permitted the analysis and description of these events. Data collection was carried out using the SCM (self-confrontation method) through a structured interview applied professors of the faculty of education, science, and technology that voluntarily took part in this research. As part of this research, the past, present, and future of those who took part in it were explored. The speeches of these professors were analyzed under established and emerging categories with the support of the MQDA2018. The results show how significant events and people throughout both their instruction and within their professional practice have been building their identity based on these interactions. In many cases is revealed how the discourses learned have modified in some way the development and evolution of their teaching practice, as well as within significant events, the instruction processes are unmentioned, which theoretically should help and support this preparation process of the teaching staff.
