(UNESCO IBE)-Second E-Forum on the Approaches by Competencies
The International Bureau of Education organized the Second E-Forum on the Approaches by Competencies, which lasted for three weeks from November 20 to December 8, 2006.
The objective was to provide a plural, open and constructive space for the inter-regional sharing of experiences of curriculum change and development based on the approaches by competencies.
The E-Forum was open to all Community of Practice members; and was based on the discussion of a document Revisiting the Concept of Competence as an Organizing Principle for Programs of Study: From Comeptence to Competent Action. (original in Fr, versions in Ch, Eng and Sp) elaborated by the Canadian Institution ORE (Philippe Jonnaert and team). The E-Forum was animated through a series of questions raised by Philippe Jonnaert.
