Reflexions about the concept of competencies and competency learning in higher education institutions and their impact on learning mathematics

Abstract

This article deals with the concept of competence as an essential aspect of the teaching-learning process. In this sense, the qualities that allow defining this concept in the light of a didactic developer in the context of Higher Education are highlighted. Therefore, a set of reflections is made about this concept and its incidence in order to achieve competency-based learning in general and Mathematics in particular. The above, allows the training of a competent professional. Therefore, it is exemplified from Mathematics how to direct learning to achieve the concept of competence as the central axis of the process.
