Abstract: Abstract In the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), moral and ethical competence is nearly absent from curricula development criteria. The recovery and incorporation of moral competence is an essential reflection: by integrating the ethical or moral dimensions of knowledge with the intellectual and technical dimensions, higher education can more effectively respond to the needs of society. This chapter affirms that the concept of habit offers an innovative perspective on human behavior that can contribute towards a more complete understanding and development of the concept of competence, and specifically of “moral competence” for both the sciences and social sciences.
