Authors

Abstract

This article presents a context analysis and accreditation criteria for pedagogy careers. Then, the experience of a higher education institution in the process of curricular renewal is exposed, revealing some curricular micro-design strategies that allow to strengthen the coherence, integration and progression of the Curriculum. The article also explores the theoretical background that supported the design of two mechanisms (practical training itinerary and evaluation milestone) and exposes a process methodology for the design of both, for the purposes of monitoring and evaluating the scope of the graduation profile and Curriculum.

Keywords:
