Abstract

In the general framework of designing and implementing an intelligent virtual environment to monitor the development of competences by students, we present the results of an analysis of the generic competences established for the National High School System of Mexico, and the coding of the results in the form of competence maps using a language that can be automatically processed by computers. Specifically, we present a literature review on the computational representation of competencies, a map of generic competencies with subsume/is-a and includes/part-of relationships, and the application of the competences map to identify the presence of generic competences in the design of high school courses in the Virtual University System of the University of Guadalajara.
