Abstract

In a competitive world, where information is accessible and continually increasing, authentic learning has become more than ever a necessity for the development of humankind. Apart form being beneficial for everyone in a distant future, it is also valuable for the “here and now” of each person. The present paper proposes the discovery of viable solutions for ensuring a profound learning based on versatile competences and thus indicates the spiral curriculum as such solution. Hence, this paper’s aim is not only to identify how the spiral curriculum operates in practice, but also to underline its benefits when it comes to planning the competencies’ attainment, a process not deprived of difficulties
