The management per competencies in the degree of Physical Culture in Cuba

Abstract

The university educational context in the Physical Culture career, due to its diversity in the performance fields, claims a competent professional. Among the education professional´s competencies, the researching one is essential because it activates the rest of the competencies. In this educational level, research and academic skills constitute a dialectic pair, hence the significance of training and development in this professional. From this perspective, the management of a process that articulates and assumes as a central axis that, from the disciplines of the curriculum, allows the success of its performance in terms of the personal, professional, and social transformation demanded by contemporary education, becomes a necessity, what leads to formulate the problem: how to potentiate the research competency in the Physical Culture career´s students? With the purpose to offer a possible solution it is designed a set of actions to develop the research competency through the research process management from the different disciplines that strengthen the management of the processes in which this professional interacts in his different spheres of action. The use of theoretical methods such as historical-logical, analysis-synthesis, systemic-structural, as well as empirical methods like  the interviews with teachers and students, as well as observation of different activities of the process, allowed, from the diagnosis, to verify the need to improve the inadequacies in the management process and subsequently the fulfillment of the objective.
