Cognitive scaffolding model for project management that integrates the development of academic skills and a sustainable approach

Abstract

Objectives: With the purpose of guiding the development of research projects with a sustainable approach, in order to solve the dialectic between chaos and opportunity, posed by technological development, a cognitive scaffolding model is developed, applicable to the development of projects in any field of knowledge. This scaffolding is proposed as a sustainable model in itself, by integrating competency-based training as the main structure and as part corresponding to the social pillar or sphere; Life Cycle Analysis, indicators and other environmental issues make up the environmental pillar or sphere and the technological and commercial part make up the economic pillar or sphere. Methodology: A documentary and qualitative research is proposed for the conformation of the scaffolding model, which is validated through the application to a concrete case. Contribution: With a holistic vision that integrates sustainability and competency-based training, a technological development was achieved that integrated key determining concepts for its design, construction, operation and market vision. The model is a guide that structures the basic information in force in the global agenda, flexible, allowing the incorporation of the specific theoretical framework of the project in question.
