Abstract:
Higher Education has four main goals: training for labor market, training for life as an active citizen in a democratic society, professional and personal development, and the development of a wider base of knowledge for society. Current economic crisis encourage all these university aims. Taking into consideration the higher obsolescence rate of knowledge, it is recommended a shift from an educational system based on employment competences development to an emotional competences oriented education. Our research focus on barriers that should be overcome in order to develop this emotional competencies framework.
