ABSTRACT
Reporting on and analysing curriculum reform in Spain, Alejandro Tiana Ferrer explores some of the social constructivist underpinnings of the curriculum and its assessment (or evaluation, as it is known in Spain). He does this by looking at the structures which have been introduced for curriculum planning and assessing learning.*
AN EDUCATION SYSTEM IN A PROCESS OF REFORM
The Spanish education system has been undergoing a process of reform for several years now. The so-called White Paper for the Reform of the Education System served as the basis for the drafting of the Law on the General Ruling of the Education System (LOGSE), passed in 1990. This was the start of a far-reaching reform of the education system and curricula.
