(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2011-01-17) Elizondo Montemayor, Leticia
The profile of an academic director working in a Higher Education institution should be based on competences. This manuscript describes the role, responsibilities, fields of knowledge, abilities and habits, which a competence-based profile should be made up of, following a tri-circular model.The three areas of competence are: 1) Doing the right thing; 2) Doing things right; and 3) The right person doing the tasks. The first area includes five intellectual and technical competences: 1. Knowledge of the institution; 2. Awareness of strengths and weaknesses; 3. Knowledge of educational models; 4. Teacher training and student affairs; and, 5. Administrative abilities. The second area involves 3 intellectual, emotional, analytical and creative competences: 6. Understanding of the main principles; 7. Leadership and effective communication; 8. Critical thinking and decision making. The third area includes 2 personal competences: 9. Role of the AD; 10. Ethics and personal development. This paper describes the elements of these 10 competences.
