The new teaching paradigm and the problem of introducing the Bolonia Plan in bussiness schools

Abstract

The Tunning project on higher education focuses, among other issues, on the definition of generic (instrumental, interpersonal, and systemic) as well as specific competences. Social sciences face the challenge of adapting this process to the existence of some shortcomings in their usefulness for labour markets. The aim of the project is to identify competences that students should achieve, according to teachers, employers, and other social agents. The field work presented in this article focuses on teachers and employers related to the studies of Bussiness Sciences of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra during the academic year 2005-2006
