Curricular analysis of general highschool per skills by the universidad de guadalajara: An approach from the network theory. Investigación y Postgrado [online]. 2009, vol.24, n.3, pp.115-140.

This research reveals a curricular study of a general highschool program per skills (HPS) developed in the Universidad de Guadalajara. The analysis was made with theoretical postulates and methodological tools that the Network Theory offers. The basic idea was to compress the original curricular map of HPS from three years to two, in non-conventional modalities. The results of the analysis allowed to condense 44 units of learning in 20 units, divided in 7 areas (Comprehension of the human being and citizenship A and B, Communication A and B, Mathematical thinking, comprehension of Nature, formation for welfare), once reestablished in the curricular reform of the HPS. The integration was raised through the use of rates familiarized with network analysis, which allowed determining the affinity between the learning units to integrate them. This study provided some parameters for a better understanding of the interdiscipleness.
