Abstract
The authors of this study are researchers in the Observatory of Educational Reforms (ORE) of the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM), and they present a theoretical and practice reflection on the use of the competence concept as organizer of curricula. Based on the origin and the application of the concept in the various disciplinary fields that have been used it, they propose a contextualized perspective.
Based mainly in the approach of the teaching professional and at the Philippe Jonnaert’s study, since the 1980a, the authors demonstrate that the three pillars for the development of the competency are: situations, competent performance and intelligence of the situations.
Finally, after studies carried out in Canada and Niger, the authors illustrate one of them and are allowed to question the content of the currículum.
