Articulation as a harmonious and efficient development of the formative process of people throughout their lives. The case of Curricular Harmonization of two Higher Education Institutions in the region of Tarapacá

Abstract

This article presents the Curricular Articulation process developed between Universidad Arturo Prat and Centro de Formación Técnica de Tarapacá, within the framework of agreement established between this university and the Ministry of Education, in accordance with the provisions of Law 21.091 on Higher Education. This is a relevant milestone at national level, since it is the first articulation between a State Technical Center and a University.
The work methodology implemented, consisted of a series of workshops between the curricular teams in order to address an analysis of inter-relatedness of the curriculum at macro, meso and micro level between technical and continuing education programs, from which conclusions and recommendations were drawn to generate curricular adjustments in these programs, thus contributing to strengthening the regional technical human capital.
