V Conference on Teaching Humanities at Upper-Secondary Level

Keys to competence-based learning at upper-secondary school level

Introduction

Monday 20 and Saturday 21 April 2018

Competence-based learning has started to be implemented in the latter years of Spanish compulsory education (ESO). Within this context, the V Conference on Teaching Humanities at Upper-Secondary Level will be useful to reflect on what the keys and teaching experiences need to be for this type of learning. Therefore, we can move one step beyond this and analyse the impact this learning has at an upper-secondary school level.
