Abstract

The present study comes from the systematization process of experience realized in attention to the curricular revision of the Program of Gerontology of the UNEFM. As an initial question was asked how the process of curriculum revision in the Gerontological Training Component should be carried out? Thus, among the fundamental reflections was obtained: the design of a methodological structure that considers the generation of a situational analysis that provides the elements of the diagnosis, bringing together the internal and external sources of the social actors involved. On the other hand, it contemplates the curricular restructuring, establishing the redefinition of the referential philosophical framework, curriculum plan, curricular mesh and programs of the subjects, where once the needs of the work environment of the professional are detected, the new professional profile is configured. In addition, it attends an evaluation stage that provides information on the pertinence and adequacy of each element configured in the previous stage. 134
