Lineamiento para el diseño y la actualización curricular Usta Colombia

Abstract

The document "Guidelines for Design and Curricular Update" presents orientations and reflections that illuminate the management of the curriculum in accordance with the Organic Statute, the Institutional Educational Project, the Educational Pedagogical Model and the Curriculum Management Framework Document, and develops the latter so that it becomes a benchmark for academic programs in its curricular dynamics. Its purpose is to provide academic programs, in their different levels of training and methodologies / modalities; to the departments and institutes of languages, a document that facilitates the understanding of the curriculum as an axial axis of academic development, and that gives the guidelines for the design, implementation and evaluation thereof, in accordance with the state requirements and the intentions declared in the University policies. The document presents two chapters: in the first, the characteristics of the curriculum and its strategies; and in the second the curricular management. Although the Curricular Policy (2004) is the reference for these Guidelines, they constitute the framework that illuminates the academic programs to design or update the existing curricula. Taking into account national and international trends in terms of the structure and components of the curricula, academic credits and their implications for the development of the programs, as well as what is enshrined in the single regulation of the education sector 1075 of May 26, 2015, This document assumes the corresponding, and in this order of ideas, partially modifies what is subsumed in this regard in the Curricular Policy (2004). It is also noted that the document is one of the expressions of collective construction between headquarters, sectional and VUAD, and is the result of the work of the National Curriculum and Teaching Board and the Private Committee of Curriculum and Teaching of the Headquarters, which during the last two years it has accompanied this achievement. The General Academic Council and the Superior Council of Santo Tomás University approved these guidelines in their corresponding sessions of December 10, 2015.
