Abstract

HERNANDEZ-FERNANDEZ, Jimena. Implementation of the 2012 upper secondary school curriculum in Mexico: a 21st-century framework enquiry. Educare [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.1, pp.401-421. ISSN 1409-4258.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15359/ree.26-1.22.

Objective.

This study aims to analyze how the new upper secondary school curriculum in Mexico captures 21st-century skills and teachers’ perceptions of success.

Method

. The design of the study complies a comparison analysis between the Mexican upper secondary school curriculum and a 21st-century skills framework. Additionally, qualitative data on teachers’ perceptions of success is collected through eight focus groups with 72 participants in 4 States of Mexico.

Results.

The findings show that the curriculum is short in strategies for the development of 21st-century skills. Moreover, although teachers welcome them, they perceive a lack of support and doubt about students’ learning capabilities.

Conclusions.

Although Mexico has progressed in providing a 21st-century skills learning environment through the new curriculum, the educational system remains with the opportunity to offer a more suitable and adequate framework as well as support and training for teachers.
