Resumen

La contribución aborda la formación en "competencias transversales" en el contexto universitario. A pesar de que existe un consenso en la literatura sobre la necesidad de promover procesos que acompañen a los estudiantes en la consolidación de competencias en áreas no cognitivas a lo largo de su formación, la ambigüedad del constructo hace que aún sea un campo en desarrollo. En este artículo, se adopta el punto de vista del profesor universitario, instado a experimentar con métodos didácticos y evaluativos que puedan apoyar este tipo de aprendizaje en un curso de área metodológica. El uso de un instrumento evaluativo construido específicamente confirmó lo que ya se reconoce en la literatura: que los métodos didácticos activos promueven la adquisición de competencias transversales. Al final del curso, se destacaron especialmente las competencias relacionadas con el trabajo en grupo y la resolución de problemas; el uso de la Life Skills Ability Scale también permitió a los estudiantes evaluar las competencias adquiridas, fomentando al mismo tiempo la competencia autoevaluativa.
