CURRICULUM OF EDUCATION

CURRICULUM

The LOMCE defines the curriculum as the regulation of the elements that manage the teaching and learning processes for each of the educational stages.

The new curriculum will be integrated by:

a) The objectives of the foreign language area; they’re the reference models related to the outcomes that the students must achieve at the end of the educational process.

b) The competences of capacities to activate and apply the contents in an integrated way, with the aim of achieving the appropriate fulfilment of activities and the effective solving of complex problems.

c) The contents, or set of knowledge, abilities, skills and attitudes that contribute to the achievement of the objectives and the acquisition of the competences.

d) Evaluation criteria: they’re the specific referent models to evaluate students’ learning. They describe what must be assessed and students must achieve.

e) The didactic methodology that includes a description of teaching practices, as well as the organisation of teachers’ work. It is a set of strategies, procedures and organized actions.

f) Evaluative learning standards: They are the specification of the evaluation criteria that allow to define the learning results and that specify what the students must know, understand and know how to do in English. They must be observable, measurable and gradable.
