The instance is part of the actions carried out by the Integrated Management Unit of Pedagogies (UGIP) to support ULS pedagogy courses in the implementation of the renewal of their Study Plans.

One of the great commitments that the UGIP assumed through the Institutional Improvement of Pedagogies Project was to accompany the teams of each ULS pedagogy career in the implementation of their respective renewed programs, which were launched in March of 2019.

This work has been carried out by the UGIP team, who have carried out various actions to guide this process. One of these actions was to generate a self-report, with the purpose of collecting the perception of the academics who taught classes during the first semester in the courses of the renewed curriculum. Likewise, I sought to know the vision of the career coordinators and school directors themselves regarding the curricular appropriation of these programs.

“All majors have participated in the accreditation process, and one of the great challenges for our Universities is the self-regulation processes, an opportunity for majors to look at their own curriculum and the educational trajectory of their students. One of the mechanisms that have been designed within the UGIP, to support programs in self-regulating their training processes, is self-reporting, a mechanism on which we have been working today. It is the academic's own form of self-evaluation, where he says how far he feels participating in the curriculum,” explained Dr. Rodrigo Ruay, UGIP researcher.

In this context, the Curricular Implementation Monitoring Day was held with the participation of both coordinators and directors, who were able to learn about the main findings found in the work carried out in this report, data that will serve as a basis for the self-regulation mechanisms of each career. The main dimensions surveyed were related to the name of the learning outcomes; the learning environment in which the classrooms were developed; time management; and learning resources, which allowed for a survey of information on the teachers' perception regarding the development of the curriculum during the first semester.

“Not only must we be aware of all those management mechanisms that we need for curricular implementation and its achievements, but also an understanding of our own capabilities to redefine the reality within our careers, it is a need that we have always been visualizing, but We have not always had the conditions to carry it out. Curricular appropriation means, from one perspective, fully understanding all those curricular devices that will allow us to understand the curriculum, but also the improvements that we can make. And the challenge of this curricular appropriation is how we are able to identify what our careers need,” explained Dr. Sandra Álvarez, academic coordinator of the UGIP.

In this way, the conference contributed to responding to the external requirements that are currently demanded in terms of teacher training and also to the internal needs, which are focused on improving the curricular quality of their pedagogical careers.
