•“ROOF” OF THE PROGRAM “Results with direct value/impact in the labor market ($) = Only Skills and Problem Solutions

•“FLOOR” OF THE PROGRAM = Basic Competences: Reading, Writing, basic math knowledge and fundamental mathematic operations; basic knowledge on Natural Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). Only the ones mentioned are considered or clearly inferred from the norm.

•“BODY” OF THE PROGRAM = “Learning Results”: Skills, Problem Solving, Knowledge, Disposition towards action (Values, attitude, habits)

Program: RESULTS from

Basic Competences

•“Results with direct value/impact in the labor market” ($)

Crucial Products and Dexterity – They imply skills (to develop known procedures that have a value by themselves or generate products that have them) and Problem Solving – Capacity to generate variables to known procedures; they also have value by themselves or generate products that have them.

•“Learning Results” Procedures that do not have a direct value/impact in the labor market, but are indispensable to learn to develop those that have such an impact.

Definition of “RESULT”

• Skills (S)

• Problem Solving (PS)

• Knowledge (K)

• Dexterity (D)

•Disposition for Action (DA)•Values (v)

•Attitudes (a)

•Habits (h)

LEARNING CATEGORIES

IMPLIED IN THE RESULTS

Conventional Definition of SKILL

Capacity to develop a PROCEDURE

•Previously established

•Intellectually controls, which means that:

The competent person:

•Has done it knowingly

•Can describe it with words

•Can make decisions about it

Learning elements

Of the SKILL

•SITUATION: Description of circumstances in which the procedure can be applied

•RESTRICTIONS: Description of circumstances in which the procedure should not be

applied (Counter-indications)

•EQUIPMENT / TOOLS / MATERIALS: List of resources required to develop the

procedure

•ALTERNATIVE EQUIPMENT / TOOLS / MATERIALS: Known substitutions for

Resources generally used

•GENERAL ROAD Identification of its steps and sequence

•KNOWN VARIATIONS TO GEENRAL STEPS + factors for decision making

•PROBABLE ERRORS Identification of areas where steps are usually omitted, added

or substituted

Generation of known procedures to generate new products, or new procedures to generate known products.

Defition of PROBLEM SOLVING

Learning Elementos for

PROBLEM SOLVING

.Description of known situation

•Identification of possible variables of the known situation

•Description of known procedure

•Identification of possible variations to the known procedure

•Description of known cause – effect relationships

•Identification of possible variables to the known cause – effect relationships

Conventional Definition of KNOWLEDGE

•Memorization of DATA

Names (Brands; components or substances;

categories; specifications of any kind)

Figures (Codes; Numbers; Quantities (Longitude

Weight; Volume)

•Creation of CONCEPTS

DATA

INFORMATION RELATED TO THE FUNCTION THAT THE PERSON

REQUIRES TO EFFICIENTLY DEVELOP THE JOB AND,

CONSEQUENTLY, SHOULD BE STORED IN THE LONG TERM MEMORY.

Examples:

•Names of components, substances, equipments, etc.

•Brands

•Categories

•Quantities (longitude, weight or volume of products)

•Prices;

•Specifications, etc.

Learning elements

for DATA

•Contextualization: (Associations that promote

Significant learning: why was it established?, where

does it come from?, to which system does it belong? what

does it imply? What does it mean? In which language?

•Actions that promote memorization:

Recognition, Repetition, Presentation in different

contexts.

Conventional defintion of CONCEPT

Notion that can be named and also defined or explained,

and allows the competent person to act in a differentiated

manner in specific cases, depending on its category.

Practically all skills imply concepts.

Learning elements of CONCEPTS

•TERM: Word or phrase with which to define the concept.

(To learn it: etymology, synonyms, antonymous, repetition)

•DEFINITION. Enunciation of critical characteristics or definitions of the concept

(differentiating between relevant or important, but not crucial).

•EXAMPLES, COUNTER-EXAMPLES, NO EXPAMPLES to promote:

•Generalization: identify specific cases or objects that fall under

The concept (from the typical ones to the less noticeable ones)

•Discrimination: identify specific cases or objects that do not fall under

the concept (from the opposed ones to the limits)

•LOCATION ON THE CONCEPTUAL NETWORK (Concepts supra-ordinaries,

Coordinated and sub-ordinate)

•Possible errors.

Conventional definition of DEXTERITY

Is the capacity to:

• Perceive sensorial stimulus•Visual

•Hearing

•Smells

•Tastes

•Touch

•Make Motor responses, or

•A coordination among both of them,

•The competent person can do it with greater precision

or faster that the person not trained

Conventional definition of DISPOSITION FOR ACTION

•VALUES

•ATTITUDES

•HABITS
