MANAGEMENT SKILLS

This book is the result of a challenging academic experience and tackles a key issue in the contemporary context: competencies in the university environment. With a critical and interdisciplinary analysis, the book presents the concept of competences as a dynamic phenomenon, exploring its psychological, social, formative and organizational dimensions. The importance of the course coordinator in mediating educational processes is highlighted.The research reveals the scarcity of practical application of competences in African and Latin American contexts, underlining the urgent need for systematic studies and contextualized interventions. Rather than offering simplistic solutions, the authors contribute to the educational debate with solid theoretical foundations, innovative methodologies and practical guidelines for academic management.With up-to-date content and a focus on institutional innovation, the book values the protagonists of the university structure and invites teachers, managers and course coordinators to critical reflection and strategic action, all committed to the transformation of Higher Education.
