Abstract
This research work analyzes the curricular importance of chemistry in higher education and how the prioritized curriculum of the Ecuadorian baccalaureate, with emphasis on competencies, influences the academic and professional training of students. Desirable and essential skills in chemistry and how they relate to the competencies needed for success in higher education and in the workplace are addressed. Through the review of official documents, previous research and academic publications, the objectives, structure and contents of the prioritized curriculum in Chemistry in the Ecuadorian baccalaureate are examined. In addition, it is discussed how the implementation of this competency-based approach can face challenges and generate academic problems in higher education, such as knowledge gaps, insufficient practical skills and difficulties in critical and analytical thinking. Finally, some strategies and recommendations are proposed to improve the teaching of chemistry in Ecuadorian high school and facilitate the transition to higher education, including the promotion of teacher training, investment in infrastructure and educational resources, and the promotion of collaboration between secondary and higher education institution.
