Authors

Abstract

The ALFA Tuning Project for Latin America proposed the implementation of competences within the curricular design in the light of improving university education. Following this notion, we propose in this article to work on the notion of competences in relation to the university professor, as the subject involved in the teaching-learning relationship and trainer of future lawyers. To this end, we offer a brief overview of some of the current challenges in legal teaching practices and then, we conclude with a reflection on the potential of thinking about professional competences for professors at the Faculty of Law.

Keywords:

University culture, academic formation, competency-based formation, aw teaching
