Desarrollo de capacidades

The IBE works towards strengthened co–operation between and within regions and countries, creating new opportunities for sharing common concerns, ideas and practices with regard to quality curriculum development and change processes.

 

Capacity–building activities concentrate on the strategic dimension of assistance and advice to, and training of, national teams responsible for curriculum change and development processes. In particular, the IBE has contributed to many comprehensive curriculum development processes in post–conflict and conflict–affected societies, such as Afghanistan, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Caucasus Region, Guatemala, Iraq and Kosovo.

 

IBE networking activities have been focusing on the creation of and support to a Community of Practice (COP) in curriculum development. This unique global network of curriculum specialists, practitioners, national officers and researchers represents: a vehicle for sustained and diversified international co–operation within and across countries 18and regions, including South–South and interregional modalities of co–operation; a platform for increased exchange, collective production and dissemination of knowledge, as well as collaborative action in the field of curriculum.

 

Within the framework of its field–based activities and projects, and on the basis of accumulated experience, international and local expertise, the IBE also started producing customized materials, handbooks and tools for capacity development, targeting the specific competences that curriculum developers and decision–makers need in order to successfully cope with emerging needs and challenges.

 

The IBE has increasingly become a facilitator and provider of field–based technical assistance and advisory services, including capacity development, in the context of national curriculum making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation processes.
