The Pedagogical Model And Its Contribution To University Academic Competencies In Ecuador

Abstract

Universities need to develop sustainable pedagogical models to meet growing strategic demands. The progress of human development requires trained professionals who actively contribute to the well-being of their communities. This study aims to evaluate how the pedagogical model contributes to the university academic competencies of students at the Technical University of Babahoyo (UTB). It is a non-experimental research that combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies from a descriptive and correlational perspective. The design is exploratory and transversal in nature. A comparison was made between eight theoretical dimensions on the topic. The pedagogical model and university academic competencies are statistically related. The more comprehensive and better structured the pedagogical model is, including its foundation, its design, its substantive articulation and its monitoring and evaluation, the greater the effectiveness in the development of university academic competencies through knowledge, abilities, skills and attitudes.
