In an era of globalization, the Academy is called upon to train professionals to be able to operate successfully in the world of work, and at the same time, be able to continue learning throughout their careers. These two main objectives must be supported by a curriculum whose essential components: objectives, content, methodology, technical, organizational variables (students, teachers, groups, spaces, sequence of activities and evaluation), are coordinated in order to facilitate democratization.
The democratization of the curriculum involves:
- adapt all compontes
- curriculum with its aims. Apply
- educational principles and procedures to ensure the supremacy of the students in the educational process.
- articulate the various components of curriculum in line with the institutional mission. Set
- teams, at all relevant levels within the institution as democratic communities living together, and therefore, learning. Dose
- number of subjects - in relation to the requirements and current trends - a few core and common areas to free time and more flexible organizational variables.
However, configuring a university curriculum democracy is a task that imports a high burden of educational research and critical reflection in and from practice, systematic process which has seen active and committed participation of all key stakeholders. References
