It can also be noted that the curricular model of the proposal is linked to the competency-based curriculum approach, which...
allows it to adapt to the need for change and flexibility of current society in that it is a dynamic concept that emphasizes.
and value to the human capacity to innovate, to face changes and manage them. This curriculum allows for the realization and combination of
different learning strategies where participants seek problem-solving and the teacher performs roles as a guide or facilitator.
Likewise, these strategies need to be flexible in order to assist in the progress and generation of knowledge among students from
the freedom of their potentialities.
Competence is understood as the integrated combination of knowledge, skills, and attitudes leading to performance.

that is to say, as a measure of what a person can do well as a result of the integration of their knowledge, skills, and attitudes
and personal qualities
As a philosophical basis for the proposal, Andragogy will be taken as the foundation of the formative and learning process starting from the
recognition of the learner in situ, without impositions, under the establishment of agreements or negotiations of mutual respect between them and the
facilitator of the process, engaging with one another as well as with the community. They must also have dialogicity as a principle
universal of interaction, action and joint reflection. The philosophical foundation of this approach stems from the recognition of the human being as an element
motor and transformer of its entire existence. Andragogy, as a science different from education, may aim to recognize in the
communities some universities. It is there, in those community-universities, where the transformation process should be reflected from the
principle of dialogical-liberating explained by Paulo Freire (Castillo, 2005).
