Competency-based Education – Implications on Teachers’ Training

The present study calls attention on a series of tendencies in the contemporary theorizing of competency-based education, raising awareness on the necessity of an integrative approach of learning experiences and on the specificity of the curricular design centered on beneficiaries, having the intention to delineate some coordinates that must be taken into account in the process of the initial and continuous teacher training programs development. The issues presented in the study are in accordance with the current concerns in the Romanian education system for reorganization of the professional qualification route for becoming a teacher.
