They basically are the teachers, parents and pupils. Although it is desirable the presence of an expert in curriculum …. B … SIMULTANEOUS: already in the process these groups should have in mind some basic principles to make your work effective: ..1. One can work in groups or committees, provided that those functions are well defined: it is not necessary that all those involved in curriculum development always work in plenary sessions. The full delegate in small groups or commissions, studies, reports or specific tasks. In any case these committees should have well defined roles, self-insured in the assigned work and share responsibilities among members. .. 2.

It is the material dimension of the process. The other relates to how to do or how to plan. It is the formal dimension. Process planning the curriculum material is to perform a series of tasks that are closely related. Unless differences of emphasis, there is agreement among authors in pointing out what those tasks. As shown in the proposal of Wheeler in five stages: 1.Señalar purposes, goals and objectives (in every project, theory or technological model, the first thing to determine are the objectives to be achieved. Late goals and objectives are not synonymous terms. Are final varying degrees of proximity, whose interplay will be discussed in subsequent issues) .2. selection of learning experiences. (Writing objectives is to specify behaviors that are desirable or desired by students for students. Acquiring or modifying some behaviors requires exercise, activity) .3. Selection of content. (Conduct are not acquired in a vacuum but, especially in the Academically, driving some subjects, units or content). 4.organizacion and integration of learning experiences and content. (this is to distribute the above tasks depending on the context in which they will put into practice: what means are necessary or possible, when it was going to do, what type of group of students is the ideal + …).5.evaluación. The last phase is to measure and assess the degree of attainment of the objectives and effectiveness of experiences, content and organization, ie each and every one of the above tasks. Formal process might look like: 1. The objectives proposed by the students are channeled through their representatives who are the delegates of course. They may also be attended by representatives of all organized groups operating in the center. His contributions in these specific aspects can be valuable. 2 º. The parents represent the interests of the community in which the school is embedded. However, also could involve neighborhood associations, youth associations … the neighborhood.

Teachers for their part are primarily responsible for carrying ña students practiced these objectives. It is therefore advisable to involve all. Nobody is interested in practicing something that has been proposed on their backs. The cloister is the most appropriate body for this task. 4 º. The developer team comprising representatives of the 3 previous groups must: achieve the goals when necessary and assemble, structure and grade into one list the objectives proposed by each group. / / The same group should now select the experience, resources, content and responsible for each objective. The question is on paper the second, third and fourth fases.los departments are responsible for instruction and academic curriculum. Teams may be run by several teachers, parents or students. The possibilities are limitless them manage the library, cafeteria, duplicator, … for each objective must specify the criteria that will be used in its assessment: number of approved participants … When necessary, they should have prepared the instruments for evaluate these criteria: scales, factual evidence, surveys must also be made … or person team to assess each objective. With their input will be an overall assessment by the developer’s own computer curriculum. From their conclusions re-start the process for the next year. The proposed model therefore requires a permanent restructuring of the curriculum.
