Revisión teórica del enfoque por competencias y su aplicación en la Universidad Boliviana
Abstract
El presente artículo, describe los principales elementos teóricos del enfoque por competencias, determinando sus características polisémicas y la multiplicidad de interpretaciones que confluyen en un complejo de capacidades, habilidades y destrezas para resolver problemas y adaptarse a variadas circunstancias y contextos, centrando su atención en el aprendizaje integral de los estudiantes para un desempeño laboral eficiente que responda a las necesidades sociales y a la auto-realización personal de los mismos. Las ventajas del enfoque por competencias, han determinado que la Universidad Boliviana asuma este enfoque integrándolo a sus procesos educativos, de manera progresiva, sentándose las bases para el desarrollo de modelos de aprendizajes en el sistema universitario.
This article describes the main theoretical elements of the competency approach, determining its polysemic characteristics and the multiplicity of interpretations that come together in a complex of abilities, abilities and skills to solve problems and adapt to different circumstances and contexts, focusing on the comprehensive learning of students for an efficient work performance that responds to social needs and personal self-realization of them. The advantages of the competency-based approach have determined that the Bolivian University takes this approach integrating it to its educational processes, in a progressive manner, laying the foundations for the development of learning models in the university system.
