THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCES, A REQUIREMENT OF THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT5
Keywords:
Transversal competences, interactive teaching methods, curricular adjustment, higher educationAbstract
The role of academic environment consists
mainly of responding positively to the changes on the
labour market by providing it with specialists who can
successfully face the requirements. Due to its complexity,
the field of social work is in need of personnel with
multiple professional, specific and transversal
competences.
Thus, training specialists in the field of social work
services is a complex process, which involves constant
changes in the curricula according to the requirements of
the economic environment. The dialogue between
academic and economic environment as well as the
feedback of graduate students have signalled certain
dysfunctions in the contents of courses, teaching methods,
etc. The necessity of developing competences such as
conflict management, interpersonal communication, and
creativity has also been pointed out.
The article is actually a project whose aim is to adjust the
academic educational offer to the requirements of labour
market, namely to implement modern teaching methods
that would develop transversal competences.
