RAZO, Ana Elizabeth. Integral reform of high school education in the classroom: Politics, evidence and proposals. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.159, pp.90-106. ISSN 0185-2698.

In 2008, the integral reform of high school education (Reforma Integral de la Educación Media Superior, RIEMS) was implemented to improve education results. Nine years on, this paper analyzes, through the observation of teachingpractice, the progress made in the reform’s implementation in the classroom. This report reveals issues pending resolution: pupils have little opportunity to connect what they are studying to their daily lives, to experience cognitive challenges or to reflect on their own learning Although the RIEMS, through the shared curricular framework (Marco Curricular Común, MCC), defined teaching competences seeking integration, identity and higher-quality education, it has not yet modified learningprocesses in the classroom. Thefindings show that much more work needs to be done in terms of strategies and teacher training for improved results in high school education.
