Previous works that give a diagnosis and an analysis of the evaluation of the teacher’s performance, as well as the results of experiences at university level were analyzed by means of a documentary research in order to asses the present situation of the practice of evaluation in this field. Different teacher performance evaluation models were also studied so as to generate the guidelines intended.
