Methodology for competency based learning

Abstract

A Methodology for Competency-Based Learning is a proposal aimed at establishing a path that facilitates the process of assimilation of learning in the most creative way possible in terms of relevant training and practical usefulness for students. The composition of this methodology is based on elements that are concatenated forming an indissoluble unit and that are aimed at producing significant learning, which will be possible with the implementation of a methodology that responds to the needs that learning requires not only of Physics and Mathematics, but of any Science. It is important to point out that the information given by professors, students, and university authorities, to whom instruments were applied in this research work, as well as the documentary review, were valuable inputs that contributed to the construction of this Methodology for Competency-Based Learning, which reflects the rich experience that this work has meant. This study concluded that the methodologies by competencies are interesting, since they allow the construction of knowledge through experiences, to potentiate skills for the student’s professional performance.
