The field of the curriculum has become a complex discipline in the field of social sciences. In some way, it is a contemporary discipline, since it arises in the process of consolidation of national educational systems and, in the social and scientific transformations gestated with the industrialization of the 20th century. In its origins, it is a discipline that arises in the conflict between attending to the processes of the subjects and the needs of institutions and social systems.
The curriculum field is developed in Latin America from two aspects: the one promoted by the ministries of education, supported by the ideology of the OECD and its PISA test, promoting the achievement of homogeneous results, and the one developed by some (few) researchers in the field. of the curriculum in relation to any of the various lines of debate.
Another problem emerges with the use of the efficiency-curricular perspective, the generic displacement of pedagogical thought in the region. The subjects of education no longer mattered, the relevant thing is to encourage everyone to achieve similar learning. Homogeneity above all else.
It is impossible to account for all this in an essay, but it is necessary to move forward in this type of investigation.
