Adquisición de competencias genéricas en una materia de corte técnicopropuestas metodológicas

Abstract

In the current European context, the design of study plans involves a plural formation in which specific competences of each degree converge with others of a general nature, and therefore common and transferable. The document analyzes the concept of competence and the most widespread classifications in the literature, with special attention to the treatment they receive at the University of A Coruña. Next, it briefly describes various methodological initiatives developed in a technological subject included in the current Architecture degree, in order to encourage the acquisition of certain generic skills: lifelong learning, autonomy, teamwork, analysis and synthesis skills, and use of various technological resources. The results suggest that these initiatives are novel in their context, at least in a general way, and that they produce very positive consequences in the students. However, we also intuit the need to articulate new coordination mechanisms, transcending the subject itself, to achieve greater effectiveness in terms of learning outcomes.
