The island of the forgotten: the teachers and the educational model by competences in technological higher education

The present article addresses the points that have been faced in its implementation of the "Educational Model for the XXI Century: Training and Development of Professional Competencies" in higher technological education. This model emerged in 2013 to give a change to the education provided by the decentralized Technological Institutes (ITS) in Mexico. The work is of a descriptive type and a case study was used, in a technological of Jalisco to know the perception of teachers about it. A semi-structured interview was applied to a group of 20 teachers from different ITS departments in Zapopan, Jalisco. The task was to analyze the interpretation that teachers have about the process of implementation of the educational model and its consequences. It starts from the idea of knowing what is the interpretation and perception that teachers have about the implementation of the educational model by competencies? The results are reflected in an interpretative table about the changes made and the objectives achieved. As conclusions, it can be observed that the changes have not been clear and the teachers carry out the model, but without knowing what the curricular change implies and the new teaching-learning strategies.
