An ontology learning and teaching techniques for competency-based curricula design

Abstract

Selection of techniques and activities to develop in students the competences of university degree programs is a complex and ambiguous activity, to which the designers of competency-based curricula must face when building the curricula's learning units. In order to support the design of the modules in competency-based curricula, this paper presents the development of an ontology for the teaching/learning techniques domain. The ontology, developed using the methodology Methontology, establishes a framework that formally describes this domain, ensuring a consistent and unambiguous vocabulary. This document shows the conceptual model that was built from multiple meetings and interviews with experts.
