| The objective of this paper is to point out some of the multiple applications of Competence- Based Education (CBE) for the development of persons, organizations and society, or societies, as a whole, beyond its characteristics and benefits traditionally linked to education and labor. The international background of CBE is summarized. Following, an analysis is presented of some of the properties that lead this education and training approach into a first order complex instrument of education and work policy, in national and international contexts. Several models that exemplify the versatility and scope of CBE, according to the paper discussion, are included. |
