Abstract
A study is presented to analyze and determine which kind of motivation leads the teaching staff to get actively involved in the process of teaching of competences. Presently, the Basque Country University in Spain has decided to provide its teaching staff with a competence-based training through the Eragin Program of active methodology oriented towards the self-learning of the student. In this professional development, teaching motivation becomes of particular importance, subject that is discussed in this work. The main conclusion is that the professors involved in this training process of methodological change are intrinsically motivated. And even though the extrinsic motivations are present in this training process, they do not play an important role.
