The transition from a discipline-based curriculum to a more integrated one is one of the key aspects to encourage a competence-based learning.. An integrated curriculum approaches the teaching-learning processes from an interdisciplinary perspective, closer to professional practices rather than to academic tasks. In this paper we present, firstly, an international tour around the realities of integrated curricula. Secondly, we describe the design implemented in the degree of Social Education at the University of the Basque Country. This design is a real model to move from the current situation (organized according to the logic of the subjects) into another in which these intersections of curricula are made possible. Finally, we perform an initial assessment of the results, trying to point out the practical difficulties involved in the development of the model and the ways for their resolution, as well as the impressions the participants have about the process. In this sense we will like indicate that, first, we must bear in mind that the difficulties to overcome in a process of this type are numerous, diverse, and its resolution is not always in our hands. And, second, stronger obstacles in our experience are being in the one hand, deal with the effects of our own relational history in the center and on the other, seek consensus between different thoughts. |
