Propuesta de un modelo de enseñanza de Six Sigma que integra competencias profesionales y valores humanos.
Resumen
Este artículo propone un modelo de enseñanza de Six Sigma (SS), basado en competencias y valores, diseñado para la educación técnica y superior. El modelo tiene como objetivo incorporar habilidades técnicas, interpersonales y éticas en un marco educativo holístico, cubriendo un vacío en la formación SS, que a menudo se centra exclusivamente en los conocimientos técnicos. La estructura propuesta consta de cuatro elementos interrelacionados. La metodología utilizada para definir los principios y la estructura del modelo incluye una revisión de la bibliografía, un análisis del plan de estudios y consultas a expertos. Este método garantiza que sea relevante para la industria y que esté alineado con las mejores prácticas educativas.
