Curriculum Design and Development Principles
Importance of Educational Foundations in Curriculum Design
- The design and development of curricula must consider fundamental educational principles, emphasizing the need for an integrated approach to learning that transcends traditional subject boundaries.
- Continuity and progression within the curriculum are essential, ensuring a structured organization that reflects both horizontal (across subjects) and vertical (over time) relationships in learning.
Achieving Competency through Curriculum Alignment
- A well-designed curriculum should align with desired graduate profiles, enabling students to develop their personal and professional potential while addressing social needs that prompted the curricular proposal.
- Internal coherence among curriculum components is crucial, as is the relationship between the curriculum and external factors necessary for achieving educational objectives.
Institutional Philosophy's Role in Curriculum Development
- The institutional philosophy significantly influences curriculum development; Article 3 of the Mexican Constitution serves as a legal framework guiding educational institutions' missions, visions, and values.
- Educators must be committed to their institution's mission and values, which directly impacts curricular adaptations and ultimately affects educational outcomes.
Autonomy in Curricular Proposals
- Recent educational policies aim to decentralize curricular proposals by allowing institutions to define their own objectives and content tailored to specific sociocultural contexts.
Cultural Practices Impacting Curriculum
- Institutional culture plays a vital role in curriculum development through symbolic practices that preserve traditions based on shared beliefs, contributing to institutional identity.
- Eduardo Remedy (2004) describes established practices as "lo instituido," which often go unquestioned due to historical continuity within schools.
