What is competence?
Competence is the group of skills that a person puts into practice when carrying out their professional and academic activity in an efficient, independent and flexible way. To achieve competence involves the combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that enable a qualified person to undertake the resolution of problems in academic, professional or social contexts. From higher education, university and adult education, the design according to competences helps us to prepare programmes based on academic and professional profiles that meet the environment’s needs. Not just a list of subject matter or content to be taught or learnt, the design according to competences contributes to reducing the distance that exists between education and the reality of the labour market which has traditionally characterised the university institution.
