ZUNIGA LLERENA, Marco; BURBANO PIJAL, Dayanara; CANO ESPINOZA, María José  and  LOPEZ ULLOA, Carlos. Analysis of the development of competencies in dental education using the Dafo matrix and fuzzy cognitive maps. Conrado [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.83, pp. 214-221.  Epub Dec 10, 2021. ISSN 1990-8644.

In Ecuador the teaching of dentistry lacks organization, planning or a regulation that regulates the training of professionals in the stomatological area. Academic research is scarce and the regularization of the mesh is a utopia. Academic mobility is diminished. In addition, updating curricular plans presents a real risk in a profession whose progress in materials occurs on a daily basis. This article aims to review the characteristics of the teaching of the profession in Ecuador and raises considerations that allow reflection and change in order to improve the training process of this profession. The educational policies of Ecuadorian higher education draw guidelines based on the social participation of its graduates, committed to a model of society that dimensions the subject and reconfigures the position of capital as an excluding conditioner of the rights of Good Living.

Keywords : Competences; teaching; dentistry; SWOT; fuzzy cognitive maps.
