Dynamic components of the curriculum in language from the teacher's perspective 
 
Abstract 
 
Even  when  teachers  follow  guidelines  from  the  Ministry  of  National  Education  of  Colombia 
(1998; 2006; 2017; 2018), micro curricula are often disconnected from the realities, interests, and 
needs  of  students.  This  gap  between  the  content  taught,  the  methodology,  and  meaningful 
learning limits their training to face contemporary challenges. The purpose of the research was to 
identify the dynamic components of the language curriculum from the teacher's perspective that 
respond to current educational demands. It is based on contributions from Ritchhart & Church 
(2020), Swartz  (2018),  Robinson  (2016), Galbán  (2016), Harf  (2017),  Perkins  (2015), among 
others. The work followed a qualitative approach, with the Educational Action Research method 
developed  in  three  cycles  of  reflection;  the  sample  corresponded  to  22  teachers  of  first  and 
second  grade  of  Primary  Education.  Reflection  cycle  1  revealed:  the  dynamization  of  the 
language  curriculum  requires  the  generation  of  strategies  according  to  the  context;  the 
dynamization of the meso and micro curriculum implies articulating content with significant and 
diverse activities; incorporation of technologies and transformation of classroom environments; 
the curricular structure is perceived as organized-comprehensive, distant from reality, with a lack 
of the emotional component. Reflection cycles 2 and 3 allowed defining the dynamic components 
of the curriculum such  as  the  transition  to novel strategies, flexibility according to  needs  and 
interests, management of emotions, reflective evaluation and school-family articulation. 
 
Keywords: Curriculum; dynamic components; teaching practices; pedagogical reflection. 
 
Introducción 
El  proceso  de  investigación  que  se  aborda  concentra  su  atención  en  la  dinamización  del 
currículo de  lenguaje, específicamente en lo que atañe al  micro contexto del aula. Si bien, al 
interior de este, los docentes siguen las orientaciones establecidas por el Ministerio de Educación 
Nacional, MEN, Colombia (1998; 2006; 2017; 2018), los micro currículos se encuentran muchas 
veces  alejados  de  las  realidades,  los  intereses  y  las  necesidades  de  los  estudiantes.  Según  lo 
refieren Flórez  y Gómez  (2013), Robinson (2016)  y Guzmán, Ghitis  y Ruiz (2018), persisten 
practicas estáticas, enfocadas en procesos perceptivos, poco sugerentes y repetitivas, las cuales se 
distancian  de  los  procesos  cognitivos  y  metacognitivos  que  llevan  a  los  niños  a  pensar  con 
eficacia, hacer uso de las habilidades de la mente, visibilizar lo que se piensa y a usar el lenguaje 
de forma competente.  
Ante este panorama, la escuela se ha visto abocada a repensarse y reflexionar ampliamente 
sobre su razón de ser, esto ha llevado a examinar con detenimiento los meso y micro currículos
