Desenhos curriculares por desenvolvimento de competências no Ensino Superior

Abstract

This work seeks to reflect on training in higher education, based on curriculum studies that are based on the National Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Courses and its alignment with the pillars proposed by Unesco for education in the 21st Century. In this context, it discusses curricular designs that meet the demands of the knowledge society, considering professional and humanistic training, which has as its triggering principle a reference matrix of training by competencies. The representation of the genesis referential matrix is expressed in the curriculum structure, through formative references, based on levels of complexity, resulting from the knowledge-skills interrelation, in a conception given by Perrenoud. When constructing curricular designs of this nature, it reflects on their development in the teaching and learning process, assuming active methodologies, as determinants for the acquisition of skills.
