Abstract
UGARTE, Carolina and NAVAL, Concepción. Developing Professional Competences in Higher Education: A Case Study. REDIE [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.spe, pp.1-14. ISSN 1607-4041.
This article first discusses the emergence of higher education as an appropriate environment for approaching the task of educating in the widest sense of the word. It then examines the possibility of developing specific professional competences in higher education by means of a teaching experience that has been ongoing for over ten years: the course entitled Training in professional competences (I and II). The study ends by showing how this blended learning course, which makes full use of participative methodologies, promotes the development of professional competences including knowledge, attitudes and skills, and also encourages students to acquire intellectual and participative competences which raise their awareness and enable them to play an active role in their professional and social advancement.
