Abstract

The assessment of teaching qualifications has been a recurring theme in the literature without controversies. This study aims to discover and analyze how a group of accounting experts perceive the dimensions of the teaching qualifications that are considered essential in contemporary higher accounting education by means of the Delphi technique. Therefore, a commission of 21 Brazilian and international experts was constituted, with a heterogeneous educational background, representative of the teaching qualifications that were to be analyzed. Three rounds were needed to reach a consensus. The results indicated that the academic qualification included factors related to degree, research and publication; professional qualification involved factors related to professional experience and credentials; and the pedagogical qualification comprises factors related to institutional support, teaching experience and permanent education. In addition, the complete commission valued the academic education most highly, reaching 46.7% of the investigated experts.
