Abstract

The present investigation starts from the logical and theoretical framework of the developmentof competences and complex thinking in the world university system. In this sense, the researchaimed to demonstrate the effects of the application of didactic strategies for the development ofcompetences and complex thinking in the Systems Engineering degree at a public university inLima provinces. The research was of an applied type, explanatory level, we worked with a preexperimentaldesign. The population was made up of 325 students from the professional career ofSystems Engineering, and the sample was taken non-probabilistically by 23 students of the X cycle.The level of development of competencies was 74% in percentage terms and 64,25% in complexthinking. It is concluded based on the three didactic strategies used (problem-based strategy,collaborative learning strategies, and the incorporated strategy of information and communicationtechnologies) with a significance level of 5% and a (p-value: 0,006 < 0,050) that competenciesand complex thinking have been favorably developed in the students of the Professional Career inSystems Engineering at the National University of Cañete, Lima, Peru.”
