%X En la d¨¦cada de los 80, numerosos pa¨ªses industrializados comenzaron a percatarse que el recurso m¨¢s distintivo de sus empresas lo constitu¨ªan sus trabajadores, y que los resultados exitosos en el desempe o laboral estaban m¨¢s asociados a caracter¨ªsticas individuales que a los t¨ªtulos y certificaciones obtenidas, por lo que comienza a tomar auge el enfoque de competencias laborales o profesionales. Esto produjo que la capacitaci¨®n se volcara a este aspecto y que se introdujera el t¨¦rmino en la formaci¨®n t¨¦cnica y profesional. Las competencias profesionales han pasado a ser de inter¨¦s en las universidades para sus dise os curriculares, para lograr el profesional id¨®neo, con capacidad de comunicarse, trabajar en colectivo y manejar determinadas actitudes, destrezas, conocimientos y habilidades para resolver situaciones nuevas y generalizar aprendizajes, as¨ª est¨¢ por encima de la r¨¢pida obsolescencia de los conocimientos. El presente trabajo aborda los or¨ªgenes del t¨¦rmino competencias y su v¨ªnculo con la educaci¨®n superior. In the 80¡äs, many industrialized countries realized that the most distinctive resource of their companies was the working force and that the successful results in their work performance were more linked to the individual characteristics than to degrees and certifications, hence the work or professional competency approach began its booming.

Professional competencies have turned into a topic of interest for the curricular designs in universities in order to attain the ideal professional capable of communicating, working in group and managing certain attitudes, dexterities, knowledge and abilities to solve unexpected situations and to generalize learning; he is ahead of the rapid obsolescence of knowledge. The present paper dealt with the origin of the term competency and its linking to higher education.
