CUELLAR SAENZ, Zoilo. Towards a live curriculum: assessing medical education evaluation. educ.educ. [online]. 2007, vol.10, n.1, pp.89-103. ISSN 0123-1294.
In the light of the reorganization of the study plan, the problem of curricular reforms in medical schools is delimited by clarifying key concepts. Differences between curriculum and study plan are established and an attempt is made to study in depth the concepts of integrality, organisation and flexibility as variables contributing to the complexity of present curricular development in order to propose evaluation as necessary and sufficient, keeping in mind that evaluation establishes the news of difference which is essential in processes where information flow is always open to reality. The paper states that -as it happens in complex systems- evaluation in the systems of medical education is a systematic ordering of the observation of the news of difference within the different stages of the process. Its main functions and characteristics will allow for the gathering of information which is useful to the process itself.
