Desarrollo de competencias genéricas en carreras de Ingeniería: Análisis crítico de propuestas formativas en Chile
Palabras clave:
Competencias genéricas, Aprendizaje, Metodologías activas, Resultados de aprendizaje, Educación superiorResumen
Hoy en día, una de las grandes preocupaciones de la industria es encontrar profesionales altamente calificados. La diferencia entre las competencias requeridas en el trabajo y las que se poseen, a veces llamada brecha competencial, preocupa tanto gerentes de recursos humanos como a gerentes generales, que buscan contratar profesionales competentes. En este contexto, este trabajo busca analizar críticamente las propuestas formativas sobre desarrollo de competencias genéricas de seis universidades chilenas, incluyendo cuatro Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) privadas y dos estatales. Los datos se recogen a través de una revisión de las mallas curriculares de carreras de ingeniería, disponibles en el sitio web de los casos seleccionados. Los resultados indican que las propuestas curriculares de las seis IES analizadas generan un desequilibrio entre los diversos tipos de competencias genéricas y una desarticulación entre la dimensión vertical y horizontal del currículo.
