Los cambios científicos y tecnológicos, la baja pertinencia de los programas educativos y la globalización económica, condujeron al resurgimiento de la evaluación como herramienta innovadora. Sin embargo, las iniciativas exhiben una falta de delimitación de su comprensión interpretativa, adoptando concepciones difusas del currículo y de su evaluación. Por ello esta investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar los sustentos ontológicos, teleológicos y metodológicos de los modelos de evaluación curricular aplicados mayoritariamente en el país, a través de un análisis de contenido, aplicando la metodología clásica de Sanz (2004). Los modelos parten de una concepción ontológica y teleológica del currículo bastante uniforme. Por su parte, metodológicamente adoptan modelos tridimensionales, que incluyen el conocer, el hacer y el ser; incorporando elementos del enfoque multidireccional. En la evaluación curricular se evidencia homogeneidad en su acepción ontológica y teleológica, pero no en la metodológica. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scientific and technological changes, low relevance of the educative programs and economic globalization, have lead to the resurgence of evaluation as an innovative tool. However, the initiatives show a lack of delimitation in their interpretative understanding, adopting diffuse conceptions of curriculum and its evaluation. Thus, the present study investigation was done to determine, through a content analysis using the classic method of Sanz (2004), how the curriculum models most usually applied in the country are sustained ontologically, teleologically and methodologically. The models are based on a quite uniform ontological and teleological concept of curriculum. On the other hand, methodologically they adopt three-dimensional models that include knowing, doing and being; incorporating elements of the multidirectional approach. In curricular evaluation, they demonstrate homogeneity in their ontology and teleology, but not in their methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
