Analysis of the new curricular design of Professorship in History of the ISFD of the Buenos Aires state. Changes and continuities in initial formation

Abstract

During the current school year, a new curricular design began to be implemented for professorship in History in the ISFD of Buenos Aires state. The previously valid program study dates from 1999, responding to the guidelines of the Federal Education Law and the A9, A11 and A14 agreements, for which reason it became increasingly urgent to update it to adapt to the "National Curricular Guidelines for the Initial Teacher Degree” approved by the Federal Council of Education in 2007. For this reason, the Provincial Directorate of Higher Education began a process of “curricular construction” that implied the preparation of a pre-design that was presented and reformulated in a series of rounds of consultations that involved reference teachers and heads of area, management and supervision teams and that developed throughout 2022. The final result was reflected in a 149-page curricular document, in which tensions between traditional and innovative perspectives are noted, Advances and setbacks in relation to the recognition of the Didactics of History as a relevant field of knowledge in the training of future professionals in the teaching of History.
