- Abstract
The purpose of this research was to create a curricular integration model that promotes active, free, constructive and responsible participation of the people involved in the educational process and in all the activities that help to improve the life standards in the educational social context. The study is based on the Theory of Action developed by Argyris and Schön and the Communication Theory developed by Habermas. A qualitative methodology was applied and oriented towards a research-action-participant model. The study was developed in eight steps: i) Archival Analysis; ii) Field Study; iii) Diagnosis; iv) Analysis; v) Action Plan; vi) Design of the School-community Integration Model; vii) Implementation; and, viii) Evaluation. The results demonstrated that: a) participation was isolated and limited to delivering report cards and other activities; b) the institution lacked projects with objectives actively incorporating the community; c) there where communicative restrictions that hindered the corporate integrative process, and d) the commitment to community integration was individually assumed by each of the representatives and their particular function, which in return weakened the process. Based on this information a curricular integration model was designed which was implemented by the participants and was evaluated to assess the changes produced.
