Estudo da percepção sobre a noção de competências no projeto político pedagógico em um curso superior de Ciências Contábeis sob o olhar do Coordenador e dos Professores.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to analyze the consistency between the Teaching Project, the legislation relevant to the university education in Brazil, and the teaching practices, in the view of the coordinator and professors from an Accounting Sciences graduation course in the city of São Paulo. It was a qualitative research. Firstly, it was applied an interview scrip. Secondly, with the professors. The results from the first stage show that, according to the coordinator, the competency approach is dealt with since the beginning of the course, and in all disciplines: basic, professional, theoretical and practical. The results from the second stage show that, despite working the competency approach, most professors do not know the concept of competency-based education, but apply this concept, although not knowing the theory. This stage also verified that the Teaching Project is in accordance with the National Curricular Guidelines.
