Abstract

This paper seeks to evaluate learning based on the competency approach, taking a didactic experience to evaluate a possible improvement in the ability to solve problems and for autonomous learning in general. For the didactic development, the theme “gases” was taken, which is generally enunciated: Corpuscular kinetic theory of matter; State variables of a gas: P, V, T; Absolute temperature; General and State Equation of Ideal Gases Dalton’s Law or Law of Partial Pressures; Ideal Gases and Real Gases; Van der Waals equation. For this purpose, the AIRBAG systems, and the determination of the normal molar volume of a gas are taken as the object of study.

Highlights

The operational definition of competency-based education (CBE) is defined as an outcome-based approach to education that incorporates modes of instructional delivery and assessment efforts designed to evaluate mastery of learning by students through their demonstration of the knowledge, attitudes, values, skills, and behaviors required for the degree sought (Gervais, 2016).This work focuses on the teaching of Physical Chemistry based on a competency-based approach

The objective of the experience is to evaluate the teaching of gases, taking the didactic experience described as an example, for the improvement of learning and the ability to solve problems in this topic

Summary

Introduction

The operational definition of competency-based education (CBE) is defined as an outcome-based approach to education that incorporates modes of instructional delivery and assessment efforts designed to evaluate mastery of learning by students through their demonstration of the knowledge, attitudes, values, skills, and behaviors required for the degree sought (Gervais, 2016).This work focuses on the teaching of Physical Chemistry based on a competency-based approach. The operational definition of competency-based education (CBE) is defined as an outcome-based approach to education that incorporates modes of instructional delivery and assessment efforts designed to evaluate mastery of learning by students through their demonstration of the knowledge, attitudes, values, skills, and behaviors required for the degree sought (Gervais, 2016). It is essential to select some specific contents to guide with exercises and examples of problems the learning of the subject It seeks to prioritize the development of autonomous, creative, and innovative, efficient, and effective learning, which allows solving and being able to raise new problems and questions close to reality. This can be facilitated by targeted internet searches to find the required data. The approach based on competences and knowledge descriptors raises as generic competences, among others, the follow-
