El Compromiso Político en la Formación Docente. Aportes Para Repensar el Currículo para la Formación Inicial

Translated title of the contribution: Political Commitment in Teacher Training. Contributions to Rethink the Curriculum for Initial Training

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This article analyzes some elements of the proposal for initial teacher training made by the Higher Education Council, whose emphasis is on the design of the curriculum and the how of professional performance. It is argued that the proposal for initial teacher training, at the curricular level, when thought of as a design, annuls and silences the senses and meanings that the curriculum produces. This technical vision leaves aside the political commitment of initial training, since it assumes that a good curriculum developed by experts modifies and improves education. However, as I suggest in this article, a curriculum is not only quality in design or development, it is also a practice that signifies, produces meanings and subjects, and is in permanent dispute.
