Abstract

This article aims to analyze the consistency of higher-education legislation in Brazil, teaching projects and practices and the process of providing an education based on competencies in Business Administration courses. A qualitative approach is taken to the data resulting from interviews and documental sources of the education legislation in force in Brazil. The theoretical foundation comes from the method of providing students with an education based on competencies in addition to a historical review of Business Administration higher-education courses. The results indicate that teaching projects and the Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais [National Curriculum Regulations] converge as regards the definition of the competencies and skills to be taught and curricular organization. Nevertheless, not all professors are acquainted with the teaching project, and even those who are agree on the need for more profound study of the topic. In addition, the logic behind the Teaching of Competencies is unclear to most professors, despite the indications that teaching practices comply with the teaching model. This article concludes that the teaching project itself does not comprise sufficient cause for a shift from the traditional model to the logic of a competency-based education, with institutional support being needed for this changing process.
