The development of competences, an operational proposal
Silvia Fioretti
The article aims to investigate a perspective in the development of competences for education, within a school environment, by setting up genuine and functional problematic learning situations. These situations develop in various recursion phases, from those that are more complex and articulated, requiring a combination of various procedures, to the ones that are more disconnected in their basic constituent elements and have explicit assignments.
We maintain that exposing students to situations that are initially complex and varied, becoming then disconnected in their constituent elements, also through recursion proposals, can favour a progressive and complete appropriation of knowledge and abilities comprising the recommended competence, and can contribute to the full and meaningful acquisition thereof.
