This work describes the experience and results of redesigning curriculum by competences for the degree in Pedagogy of Mathematics and Computing at the University of Los Lagos, Chile. The context and the totality of the phases of the redesign are detailed. The concrete results emerged from the degree’s self-assessment process, which now has a new study plan, a graduation profile appropriate to the competency-based curriculum, and a significant improvement in degree rates, in addition to strengthening students’ fundamental skills, certified by the National Accreditation Commission.

Keywords : quality assessment; higher education; curriculum redesign; competency-based approach; mathematics teacher training; Chile.
