Abstract

Knowledge cannot be acquired through memorization of isolated facts, but through the ability of thinking and drawing coherent conclusions. Knowledge must be significant, which means, related to our students’ physical and social background. This is the reason why we should include in our teaching activities the most current scientific and technological discoveries and the most relevant artistic, musical, literary and sports events of our society. Teaching for competence is based on applying knowledge and not only on its mere transmission (traditional teaching). Thus, teachers should not only teach concepts (knowledge), but should also teach skills (know how) and attitudes (being and coexisting). They should also know their students very well to help them develop all their intelligences.
