Abstract
This research addressed how basic science teachers implement the competency-based approach in their classes. The overall objective was to “analyze the implementation of the competency-based approach in basic science and technology courses at INAES during 2024.” In terms of methodology, a mixed approach and concurrent triangulation design were used. The scope was descriptive, with a population of 8 teachers and 137 students. The sample was census-based for teachers, given that they were few in number and easily accessible. The sampling method for the student group was random, with everyone eligible to be part of the sample, using Morgan’s table to calculate the sample size. Interview, survey, and teaching guide review techniques were used, with open-ended questionnaires, closed-ended questionnaires, and checklists, respectively. The proposed objectives were met, with the most important findings being the use of active student-centered strategies; the use of traditional and digital teaching resources; relevant and appropriate laboratory practices in line with the study programs; and the strengths described as autonomy, teamwork, responsibility, and critical thinking. Key aspects of the competency-based approach.
