This paper discusses the origin and the philosophical assumptions of
the Spanish reform typology of contents, assumed by Argentine
educational transformation in the 90s. It tries to show that the theses
of social constructivism -rooted in Kantian idealism- and of
psychological formalism, are still in force. The criterion of selection
of curricular contents -social significance- is also discussed,
attempting to show that the basic principles assumed by this criterion
lead to relativization of pedagogical statements. The need to approach
curricular theory from a metaphysical and anthropological foundation is
proposed. Stella Maris Vázquez. Key words: Educational contents. Educational Reform. Social constructivism. Formalism. Concepts. Procedures. Attitudes. |
