Prerequisites

This module is mandatory in Curriculum and Innovation Processes in Education

Objectives and Contextualisation

This module aims to introduce the student to research in the field of competency curriculum development and innovation processes.

The objectives are:

  • Have a conceptual framework in line with the development of curricula by competencies and innovation in education.
  • Know the different theoretical perspectives, understandings, processes, strategies and techniques linked to the constructs of curriculum development and innovation.
  • Analyze lines of research associated with curriculum development and innovation.
  • Develop curricular innovation projects.

Competences

  • Analyse data according to its nature and present results in accorance with the research proposals.
  • Collect research data coherently in accordance with the chosen method.
  • Communicate and justify conclusions clearly and unambiguously to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  • Communicate the research results, knowledge acquired and the implications for practice, and adapt the register to the public and formal protocols.
  • Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously.
  • Develop professional values including ethics in educational research, in particular with respect to diversity of opinion and ways of being and doing.
  • Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
  • Plan research according to practice-related problems, taking into account theoretical advances in the field of knowledge.
  • Propose curricular innovation projects from the research results.
  • Recognise and relate the theoretical, empirical and social aspecys of the specific field of research.
  • Solve problems in new or little-known situations within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study.
  • Use ICT in the research process, information search and management, data analysis and the dissemination and communication of results.
  • Use acquired knowledge as a basis for originality in the application of ideas, often in a research context.
  • Work in teams and with teams in the same or interdisciplinary fields.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Analyse research models and strategies in innovation in education.
  2. Analyse theoretical frameworks of references to establish those that orientate research in the area of curriculum development and innovation processes.
  3. Communicate and justify conclusions clearly and unambiguously to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  4. Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously.
  5. Define the information and/or subjects involved in a study in the field of curriculum development and innovation processes.
  6. Design curriculum innovation projects as a solution to educational problems and the research results obtained.
  7. Design curriculum innovation projects in existing lines of research.
  8. Develop professional values including ethics in educational research, in particular with respect to diversity of opinion and ways of being and doing.
  9. Evaluate curriculum innovation projects from the contributions of existing lines of research.
  10. Evaluate the social and theoretical relevance and pertinence of a research problem related to curricular design and innovation processes.
  11. Find and analyse theoretical references and lines of research in curricular innovation.
  12. Identify educational problems related to curriculum development and innovation processes and evaluate the methodological approaches for solving them.
  13. Identify innovation processes as professional and organisational training and development processes.
  14. Identify question, challenges, problems and need of the moment in education revising the role that research and innovation have or could have.
  15. Identify the bases and foundations of curricular design and development by competences.
  16. Identify the problems in practice related to curriculum development and innovation processes within and outside the education system.
  17. Identify theoretical references and evaluate their adaptation to be able to interpret problems that are unique to the area of curricular development and innovation.
  18. Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
  19. Negotiate the collection of information with people and/or institutions (permission, protocols, timescale).
  20. Produce conclusions taking into reference the research objectives and questions and the theoretical references.
  21. Relate results in accordance with their origin (sources and instruments).
  22. Solve problems in new or little-known situations within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study.
  23. Use ICT in the research process, information search and management, data analysis and the dissemination and communication of results.
  24. Use acquired knowledge as a basis for originality in the application of ideas, often in a research context.
  25. Work in teams and with teams in the same or interdisciplinary fields.
  26. Write scientific summaries to be presented to different audiences.

Content

  • Theoretical perspectives of curriculum innovation in the education system by competencies. Theories, models and strategies
  • Innovation processes as processes of curriculum development
  • Models and innovation strategies and curriculum development
  • Research on curriculum innovation (associated content, resources, strategies, the evaluation system, the actors, the different educational levels ...).

Methodology

The training activity will be developed from the following dynamics:
  • Reading of articles and documentary collections
  • Master classes / lectures by the teacher
  • Analysis and collective discussion of articles and documentary collections
  • Practices of classroom: resolution of problems / cases / exercises.
  • Presentation / oral presentation of works.
  • Tutorials

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
