Teachers and the New Mexican School: A glimpse of the experience of teachers in Jalisco

Abstract

In this paper we discuss a number of events that converged around the implementation of the curricular proposal of the New Mexican School (NEM), ranging from the publication of the document “Curricular Framework and Study Plan 2022 of Mexican Basic Education” to the first months of activity of the 2023-2024 school year. In this period of time we address the socialization experiences that took place among Jalisco teachers from August to December 2022, the training provided in the first week of January 2023 and the subsequent sessions of the School Technical Council. With these events, we wish to offer a reflection on the training dynamics deployed by federal and state authorities in Jalisco among basic education teachers. The main support for these reflections comes from research conducted by basic education teachers and researchers from the University of Guadalajara, who took on the challenge of learning about the forms of appropriation of the theoretical and methodological contents of this educational modality experienced by the teachers.
