Master of Science in Physics Education at The University of Guadalajara: The Curricular Design Process

Abstract

Based on several educational needs related to Physics Education in Mexico, the University of Guadalajara began the curricular design of a Master’s Program in Physics Education. The work for the curricular design of the Master of Science in Physics Education at the University of Guadalajara was developed through nine phases. This paper presents the generalities related to the curricular design process of the Master of Science in Physics Education program at the University of Guadalajara. As a result, we have obtained a program creation project with 21 Learning Units integrated under a competency model and two research lines. Currently, while we are writing this work, the proposal is pending approval by the General Council of the University.
