TY - JOUR A1 - Terrón López, María José AU - García García, María José AU - Blanco Archilla, María Yolanda T1 - Integrating key skills in information and communication technology degrees. Its assessment in the students Y1 - 2009 SN - 23401095 UR - http://hdl.handle.net/11268/3910 AB - It’s widely accepted in the technological sector the importance of, not only the knowledge, but also skills and competencies. The employers look for candidates able to work in a team, able to approach the problems, with the capacity to analyse and resolve problems, under the constant renewal of knowledge and competencies. Due to this question introducing key skills into the objectives of higher education studies has become inevitable. Although the concept of key skills is a bit confuse for teachers, due to the high dispersion that can be found in the bibliography. Moreover, there is not a standardized way to integrate the skills through each subject contents. In this communication we intend to give some guides to the academic staff in order to clarify the concept of key skills. On the other hand, we will discuss about how to distribute the main ones through the curriculum and how to assess and measure the level acquired by the students.
