CASTRO HEREDIA, Javier Andrés  y  RAFFO LOPEZ, Leonardo. Some Considerations about the Structure of Economics Curriculums in Colombia. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2016, n.30, pp.147-170. ISSN 1657-6357.

This paper presents some peculiarities about economics undergraduate programs in Colombia with a quantitative analysis of a selected sample according to two aspects, region and student's performance in a test of economics knowledge. The analysis shows convergence in curricular structures of Economics programs, with small regional differences. This standardization of curricula may suggest the existence of a leader-follower strategy in economics programs. Some programs tend to imitate standardization of national leading programs to provide modern, prestigious, flexible and comprehensive curricula regardless their own particular specificities and features.

Palabras clave : teaching economics; undergraduate; curricula; higher education; Colombia.
