GIRALDO, Elida; CADAVID, Ana María  and  FLOREZ, Sarah. Possible Agreements on Curriculum Conceptions for Teacher Training. educ.educ. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.1, pp.9-22. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2019.22.1.1.

Curricula continue to be a matter of research and problematization in higher education programs, particularly those that train teachers. Although the tendency is to consider them from an instrumental and technical perspective, this paper adopts critical and comprehensive perspectives. Then, this qualitative case study carried out in a School of Education at a public university intends to inquire into the curriculum conceptions present in teacher training programs and their characteristics. The research focuses on the different ways of conceiving the curriculum in the programs, even when they are part of the same academic unit; on flexibility and curricular integration as central concerns; and on the shaping/structuring of programs, which is not homogeneous but determines some paths in the training of those participating in the proposals. From the discussion, it is concluded that a key implication is the need to reach agreements both on curriculum conceptions that guide teaching action and practice and on the particular ways in which proposals are structured/shaped, following those “common minimums” that enable dialogue and collective construction.
