The importance of teacher agency for professional development and sustainable educational change is increasingly recognized. This interview study highlights lecturers’ experiences regarding ways to influence and develop their teaching practices. Lecturers stated that they would like to do more educational development. Findings also indicate that the concept of professional agency should be adapted to the particular context of university teaching. Our study therefore provides a more specific interpretation of professional agency applied to teaching.
