Abstract

RENTERIA-VERA, Jorge Amado et al. Global competition and sustainable development: opportunities for higher education. Entramado [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.1, e208.  Epub June 13, 2022. ISSN 1900-3803.  https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.1.7641.

The fulfillment ofthe targets of the Sustainable Development Goals and the strengthening of the competencies to be global citizens brings out great challenges to the nations and, especially to their educational systems. In this context, the design of a model of curricular coordinates aimed at the formation of skills for sustainable development and world citizenship, within la Institución Universitaria Pascual Bravo (Pascual Bravo University Institution for its English conversion) (Colombia), is proposed. From a qualitative approach, with a descriptive scope and grounded theory design, a characterization was carried out that reveals the need to advance in higher education curricular models, whose base is theoretical and practical knowledge in order to promote the development and sustainable life styles. From there, a curricular management model is proposed that allows to reflect on the importance of articulating these competencies to the missionary purposes. It is concluded that, with its application, the academic community can adopt the theoretical tool and establish a design that favors curricular updating with a focus on sustainable development.

Keywords : Sustainable Development Goals; curriculum; model of curricular coordinates Global competition.
