UNESCO/IESALC methodological model for capacity de- velopment

Abstract

The world has changed a lot in recent decades and the current setting requires new tools and approaches to ways of working to evolve with them. The mobility and growth of humanistic, scientific and technological knowledge has led to differences in interactions and ways of working. It is for this reason that it is necessary to align efforts to manage and modify strategies to face these changes. Col-
laboration, discipline and dedication whilst making changes with an open mind to face the current environment must be prioritized.
UNESCO IESALC proposes a transformation approach that is generated from within, that is from the Higher Education Institutions themselves (IES), so that it is sustainable over time with the incorporation of a training approach focused on competencies with the following principles in the context of the 2030 sustainable development goals (SDGs): active teaching; student autonomy and independ-
ence; the use of technology, innovation and research as drivers of change management. The proposed UNESCO IESALC methodology has achieved its best results with the incorporation of agile methodologies and change management along with academic-pedagogical management strategies applied to the current
changing context in a VUCAH environment.
