Diseño de herramientas didácticas basado en competencias para la enseñanza de la química ambiental

(Designing Teaching Tools for Competence-Based Learning in Environmental Chemistry)It is important for teachers to have teaching tools that help them to develop competence-based learning in environmental chemistry. Including innovative approaches into their classic courses will enhance the student’s ability to know how to learn, to think, to perform, to interpret and to act in different settings. The goal of the teaching and learning process can be reached through these methods. The aim of this work is to design a set of teaching tools in order to develop and assess the competence-based learning in environmental syllabuses for students of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. The assessing is proposed by means of a rubric specific for each kind of competence developed. These tools act as a support for teachers in the classroom to integrate knowledge, attitudes, cognitive abilities, psychological abilities, sensory abilities and technical skills in an activity or specific task.
