TREVINO RONZON, Ernesto  and  CRUZ VADILLO, Rodolfo. The integral Reform of Basic Education in the Teacher's Discourse: An analysis from the perspective of significance. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.144, pp.50-68. ISSN 0185-2698.

The objective of this paper is to present a discussion on the Integral Reform of Basic Education 2009 (RIEB is the Spanish acronym) from the perspective of the signification processes. To do this, the article begins by demonstrating the theoretic-methodological features of the study; it then goes on to speak of the RIEB as an educational, social and political proposal that projects meaningful content aimed at reorganizing the work of the teaching staff; thereafter, it analyses some of the significations produced by the subjects who participated in the investigation. It is argued that the RIEB has been highly effective in interpolating the teaching staff with regard to the possibilities and benefits of the proposed changes; however, it is also demonstrates that the said process has not been accomplished without contradictions. The text is based on the assumption that studying teaching significance is relevant to the understanding of the implementation conditions regarding the initiatives of change within the educational environment.
