Abstract

GLADYS ALVAREZ, MARIA. Curriculum Development in Higher Education: a very complex, process. Signo pensam. [online]. 2010, vol.29, n.56, pp.68-85. ISSN 0120-4823.

This work seeks to link a number of curriculum-related concepts, and to explore the way they influence both the practice and the effects of training in students. It also presents the dimensions of curriculum development, which transforms this topic and the actions related to it into a problematic field whose solutions must be based on reflection based on practices, needs, and expectations of those who participate in it. Finally, it provides some elements that, as a whole, constitute what today is called curriculum quality assurance.

Keywords : Curriculum; Curriculum Practices; Curricular Dimensions; Curriculum Management; Curriculum evaluation; College Students; Administration of the quality.
