Competence-based professional training

Abstract

The competency-based curriculum approach (ECBC) is connected with the latest wave of school reforms in all advanced countries and forces us to look for references in the internationalization framework and discuss about something that had never faced the teaching staff. And higher education can't escape this discussion. Thus, this article presents a theoretical rethink on the ECBC, its nature and difficulties of implementation in higher education. Also we perform a proposal for development of the ECBC in higher education. We describe both the didactic principles of the educational intervention as the organizational axes allow ECBC development in higher education.
