Abstract

The University has been providing for centuries of traditional functions associated to progress, knowledge construction and transmission of knowledge, it has been set as one of the engines of economic development of society and one of the poles of education throughout life. Today the universities are in a process of transformation and radical changes as they represent a transcendent activity that requires a significant time investment of human and financial resources to adapt and be competitive in domestic and international markets, considering the globalized world in which higher education is.

Nowadays, university education has characteristics that define it as the educational process of higher education that takes place in an institution that acts in the search, acquisition and construction of scientific knowledge, as well as constant critic intellectual process knowledge. Traditionally, at the university, as in many other educational institutions, the teacher is the one who knows and the student who must assimilate this knowledge responsibly.

With the current global trend of competency-based approach, it becomes more complex and demanding process of educational planning in higher education and requires a specialist teacher training, enabling those learning tools and technical procedures to ensure that curricula possess a higher degree of validity and reliability in meeting the training needs.
