SARAVIA DOMINGUEZ, Hurganda et al. The application of curriculum design by competences in university higher Education: A systematic review 2019-2023. Comuni@cción [online]. 2024, vol.15, n.1, pp.92-104.  Epub Nov 03, 2023. ISSN 2219-7168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.33595/2226-1478.15.1.995.

The competency-based curricular design allows Higher Education institutions to establish academic programs focused on the development of specific knowledge and capabilities. The objective of this research is to analyze the existing literature on the application of curricular design by competencies in Higher Education during the period 2019 to 2023. From this perspective, the PRISMA systematic review method was used, selecting 30 studies that met specific inclusion criteria. This made possible the synthesis of the evidence related to academic literature through the review of selected studies. The review was restricted to research in English focused on the development of competency-based curricular design in the field of Higher Education. Additionally, studies that did not specifically address these issues were excluded. The search was carried out in three academic databases: ERIC, Scopus and SciELO. The results of the systematic review provided insights into emerging patterns and trends in this field. It is concluded that this design promotes flexibility and adaptability in academic training, which enables institutions to respond to the changing demands of the labour market and society, thus ensuring relevant and updated education.
