ABSTRACT
One may define a curriculum of study as everything (content knowledge, skills, abilities, methodologies) planned to bring students from an initial state of competence (again in terms of content knowledge, skills, abilities, methodologies) to a final state. Therefore, many different components contribute to innovations in a curriculum: subject-related components for the definition of contents of a discipline or some interdisciplinary theme; method-related components for the definition of skills and abilities that characterize the disciplinary field; experimental skills for any experimental discipline; as well as social communication components and general skills. Moreover, any curriculum must take into account the organization of course of study (duration and disciplines to be included) and the definition of the teaching methodologies for efficient communication to students.
