Estrategia metodológica formativa para una docencia enfocada en el desarrollo de competencias

Abstract

Curricular changes in Chilean higher education in the last 15 years have not been harmoniously accompanied by a transformation of university teaching. The discrepancy between the curriculum and the actual teaching has become an obstacle for the results that these curricular innovations seek. Thus, the present article enlists the foundations of formative methodological strategy for teaching, focused on the development of competencies. This will allow an actual change in teaching practices, so that these curricular innovations can gain consistency and better respond to the challenges that gave rise to them. Furthermore, we formulate a theoretical-practical articulation that supports a new way of teaching in coherence with curricular innovations, and at the same time, addresses the existing tension in the training process of university professionals between the demand for human development and the instrumentalist character that gives rise to the competency curriculum.
