¿Changes upon the curricular structure of secondary education? A close looks to meet Santa Fe´s case

Abstract

This article was produced in the context of an investigation project, which is still in progress, and which relates to the processes of the curricular development of high school education as a consequence of the approval of the (Argentinian) National Law of Education (Nº 26206). To focus on the curricular structures means that the importance of a change within this  structure in a new high education is justified. The most relevant arguments and debates as regards the quest for an integrated curriculum and/or an interdisciplinary curriculum are exposed; historical precedents about the attempts to transform higher education within the last decades are  presented; as well, a survey was previously conducted on the ways in which each jurisdiction modified the curricular structure of high school´s basic cycle of education with special attention on the methods of inclusion of the social sciences. Finally, the questions that guided the investigation project´s field of work are presented.
