CURRICULA ¿PRESCRIPTIVE OR DESCRIPTIVE SUBJECT?


Between other aspects of curricula (based on the reading of the extract of the book “Key Concepts for Understanding Curriculum” by Colin J. Marsh, posted by our teacher on the Virtual Campus) during our last lesson in class we were talking about the possibility of curricula as a descriptive or prescriptive subject.

Definitely we conclude that it is a wider, creative and in some way flexible subject. Although, we need to take into account the main points established in contents and underlying principles that comprise the curricula for Primary School Teaching:

1-      Royal Decree, 1513/2006
2-      Individual specifications by Comunidades Autónomas (additional and complementary requirements)
3-      Royal Degree, European Framework of languages (minimum syllabus, methodological rules, minimum grammar aspects by level, topics, objectives)

It is not a prescriptive subject because curricula is not a “step by step” subject. Being prescriptive imply the lack of creativity. Everything is fixed, what and how to do things. A methodology that not success for all capacities or needs.

Curricula it is not an instruction manual for perfect results. It’s a wide range, not a detailed program to be followed.

  1. Good night bloggers! I strongly recommend this blog because you treat key concepts and relevant theories that we have discussed in class during the grade. Besides, I agree with almost everything that you justify.
