DIRECTIONS AND KEY SOURCES IN DESIGNING CURRICULUM

Abstract

This study supports the foundation curriculum focused on skills in three ways: a) content-centred approach; b) centered approach to learning process; c) social interactions centred approach. These approaches correlate, according to the authors, to the model-centred instructional offered by one who teaches (Logocentric training system) the experience and knowledge of the learner (Empiriocentric training system), but also social valences learning (Sociocentric training system). The data collected shows that most students have a traditional training focused on skills of memorization and reproduction of information. It is necessary to change the methodology so that students acquire self-organization skills, Homing, and lifelong learning. Research methods used were observation, survey-based questionnaire and the experiment. After analysing quantitative and qualitative results, we could make relevant conclusions on the role of pedagogical training program to portray the competence of the teacher. The results were reported in the following aspects: theoretical; auto management learning skills; attitudinal-motivational training.
