JIMENEZ RIOS, Edith. La participación de los académicos en el diseño curricular de planes y programas de estudio en la UNAM. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2002, vol.24, n.96, pp.73-96. ISSN 0185-2698.

Participants in curricular processes have knowledge of this matter, however, they have not expertise in its design. In our country, academic members are lack of researching a professional manner of constructing the lay out of curriculums. That is why this article shows the opinions and ideas of twenty two academics participating in developing study plans of some college degrees taught in UNAM. Particularly, research has been done involving several topics, such as: organization of collegiate groups, academic formation for participants who have the aim of improving the methodology of designing study programs and plans. The performance of this group has resulted in curricular proposals at graduate level, reflecting the university function. For this reason, we consider of the outmost importance the participation of academic, as well as the involvement and advice of experts in this field.
