Competence-based Curriculum by Buscape Family

Hello Everybody!

Here is another post of Buscapé Family about Competence-based Curriculum. What is this? How can we apply it in our context? The result of our discution and reflection you can access in our WikiPage, CLICK HERE and see our collaborative work. Follow the home page of our Wiki. We will be happy if you visit us.

In the link HomeGroup Activities/Curriculum you will find the Conceptual ideas, which brings our original reflection about:

- What is competence?

- What is Curriculum?

- What does alignment (see Biggs, 2003) mean in practice?

- How is collaboration created with the region and with the companies?

- How collaboration with the region and the companies are related to Creation of intended learning outcomes in the curriculum:

a) Implementing learning processes?

b) Assessing competences of students?

c) How can you apply these ideas in your own context?

The second Topic in HomeGroup Activities/Curriculum there is a guideline, where we discoursed about : 

- How to implement a curriculum with PBL?

- How Student-centered approach can help to create Competence-based Curriculum?

- What have been done to implement Competence-based Curriculum?

After all of this, we discussed and constructed individual teaching plans. We tried to figure out and translate in words how we could apply all the conception we have learned in Finland into Brazilian Vocational Education context.

So, we structured 6 teaching plans, integrating PBL and competence-based Curriculum conceptualization in our area of knowledge. Then, we invite you to read ours plans and collaborate with our initial idea about how to implement the Finnish's way of teaching and learning.

Plan 1 - Content and Language Integrated Learning/CLIL

Plan 2 - PBL in Physical Education 

Plan 3 - Analysis of Digital Systems

Plan 4 - Work Organization

Plan 5 - Electronics technician

Plan 6 - Entomology
