To analyze the constitution of the teaching professionalism and the contribution of the teachers' pedagogical practice in the development of competences and abilities of the students of the Administration course of the Public Universities of Piauí. The instrument is a questionnaire developed in the Google Docs platform, with a five-point Likert scale and a semi-structured interview script. Descriptive statistics were used for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. Fifty-one professors from business administration courses at public universities in the state of Piauí participated. The results pointed out that teachers' professionalism is influenced by their established relationships, even before they enter the profession, and carries aspects of their biography, their social and psychological universe. They believe that their professionalism is related to the construction of competencies and the development of skills for their teaching activities, leading to the deduction that, by being aware of their own abilities and competencies, they know of the need to improve and/or develop them. With this, they carry out a more cautious and conscious teaching practice, contributing to an effective training of their students in order to contribute to the development of their skills and abilities
