Is (Self-Directed) Learning the Key Skill for Tomorrow's Engineers?.

摘要: This paper shows how a study in educational sciences focused on the concept of ‘competence’ can bring about changes pedagogical methods used when training engineers. Instead using personality traits to understand innovators, PhD practices and competencies revealed that, amongst other things, self-directed learning skills are prime importance success innovation processes. led teaching staff French engineering school set up project aimed at integrating into curriculum.
