Abstract:
The logic competences have invaded the educational field for almost
two decades and it has been part of the critical movement of the conception
where the education/ formation aim of transmitting the knowledge (J.-P.
Bronckart & J. Dolz, 2002, In Dolz J., Ollagnier E., Éds.). The definition of
the competences can also be realized in a metaphorical manner (transfer of
knowledge or stimulation of the subject’s resources at a given time) (
Perrenoud Ph., 2002, In Dolz J., Ollagnier E., Éds.). The metaphor of
mobilization emphasizes the subject’s activity, which involves an assembly of
complex mental operations, connected to some situations, rather
transforming the knowledge, and it suggests a coordination of the multiple
and heterogeneous subjects` resources, a continuous recombination of these
resources (ib).
Our researches join the project approved by the National Centre of
Programme Management 2008-2010 (Programme 4- Partnership in
foreground domains, no. 92106). We appreciate that the educational work
has to count on the profound knowledge of causes, conditions and favouring
factors and especially of those that prevent the improving of university
education quality. If we agree with the principle of centring the teaching –
education process on the student, then the deciphering the individual
mechanisms of the complex process of learning represents the basis of all
researches of modernizing the teaching-learning process. Due to the
instruments of psycho-pedagogical investigation, through qualitative and
quantitative analyses, we will be able to offer the students, the teaching and
leading staff that expertise that could lead to the improvement of education
quality. Also, the students will gain abilities of different techniques of
intellectual work, which are so useful during the university years, as well as
to their preparing for the long term learning.
