Abstract

The Pedagogy of Competencies (PC) is part of changes arising from Educational Reforms justified by the need to adapt Education to contemporaneity. The objective of the research was to compare and contrast the tensions between global and local in the PC, both in Brazil and in Mexico, using the Decolonial Theory as a prism. Data were generated through bibliographic and documental analysis. In the comparison and contrast between Brazil and Mexico, a Pedagogy of Competencies that molds Education to a technicist format, focused on marketing issues, can be seen.
