• Abstract:

   

  The texts and curricula based on the pedagogy of competences suggest that this form of teaching, contrary to classical technicality, helps students to develop autonomy, enhances critical and creative abilities, facilitates inclusion and integration, contemplates the individual in his multiple dimensions and contributes to the improvement of democratic institutions. What this article seeks to discuss is that the pedagogies of competences, contrary to what is supposed, are the revival of technicist theses but on new bases. If the technicism of yore was the pedagogical expression of Fordism, teaching by competences is its current equivalent, fulfilling the same social function.
