OPTIMIZATION OF LIBERAL AND SOCIAL VALUES OF COMPETENCIES: REFLECTIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF CONSTRUCTIVE EDUCATION

Abstract

The article proposes a perspective of structural competence analysis in the context of the
constructivist paradigm of learning and highlights the quadratic model of competence (Delors). We claim
that this model balances the ,,pragma’’ and ,,axia’’ actions of a competent person in a competitive
economy and a cohesive society and moderates the liberal approach of education through the introduction
of the competence unit learn to be together with others. Looking briefly over some constructivism theses,
we ascertain that through those two social and cognitive research directions, the theoreticians of the
constructivism model deliberate between the centripetal approach of learning in relation with the student
and the centrifugal one. Based on studies and statistical data, we claim that the extension of the
constructive elements of the competence to learn to know to be together with certifies the lack of social
competencies, which are non-internet manifested by digitized generations, also the strengthening of the
attitudes role and the outlining of the value support of the competence
