MEIRIEU, Philippe. Resources and Limits of the "Competence" Approach from Today's Teaching Profession Exercise. Pedagogía y Saberes [online]. 2019, n.50, pp.85-96. ISSN 0121-2494.

This reflection article questions one of the "common places"; that guide teacher training today: "Teaching, educating would be first and foremost, and perhaps exclusively, a question of skills to be acquired". However, the questioning does not consist in a rejection of the concept of competence, as is usually the case from some perspectives that are declared critical, but in subjecting the concept to a rigorous analysis, according to which pedagogical work is irreducible to the accumulation of know-how and the practice of mechanical exercises, since it refers to the capacity to invent situations that generate meaning that closely articulate discovery and formalization, that is, that refer to the capacity to think.

Palabras clave : competence; pedagogical work; teacher training.
