Desplegament de competències bàsiques a l'educació obligatòria a Catalunya: de la regulació legal a l'aula

Abstract

Deploying key skills in comulsory education: from legal regulation to the classroom. This paper explains the current situation and short-term prospects of the deployment of basic education curricula in Catalonia, with a special emphasis on the implications for school organisation and teaching. First, I clarify the meaning of the term curriculum, according to the context in which implementation (specification levels) takes place, and according to the formal register of speech used. The following point shows what the implications of the current curriculum standards are and the legal framework in which they must be interpreted (first level of specificity), with an emphasis on key skills, in order to pursue a reflection on the specificity of the curriculum in schools (second level), with the corresponding organisational consequences. The third level of specificity allows me to go further into core curriculum implementation: classroom activities, teaching and assessment tasks. This point will complete the two earlier ones, with a look at pupil diversity and a reflection on teaching resources in the context of the current curriculum. The article ends with some conclusions about the basic guidelines for schools for the development and implementation of the curriculum.
