This book is the result of a research process fundamentally qualitative, supported by the conception of participatory action research [PAR]–. The project was born before the need to build a proposal to analyze the curricular situation of the municipality of Sabaneta, Antioquia, which would allow the design and implementation of strategies for the improvement of the quality of the educational service, bringing it closer to a model of competency-based training that would respond to recent innovations in pedagogy and didactics in general and to the guidelines of the Ministry of National Education in particular. The project was carried out for four years and due to the challenges raised from the beginning, was characterized as an exercise in collective construction of knowledge, in which they interacted national experts, researchers from the CEIPA Orygen group, and all teachers and directors of educational institutions municipal officials. To guarantee participation and academic construction, Various work tables were held with all the teachers and directors of the eight official educational institutions of the municipality, in each meeting there were also conferences and workshops with experts; which constitutes a methodological success, since it facilitated the development of specific products in the curricular scope of the institutions, in addition to other achievements perhaps intangible but no less important, such as the generation of spaces for dialogue, agreement and exchange among the participants, which gives rise to criticism and debate, thus strengthening the academic culture of the educational community local. In accordance with the IAP methodology, they were actively involved the actors of the process, teachers, directors, students and families, who built a study plan for all the areas, the institutional student assessment system, an instrument for classroom planning by periods and a model for the formulation of mandatory projects. These products were socialized and published on a web platform managed by each educational institution.1 As part of implementation strategies, the "Creativity at School" contest is held annually, which seeks to generate and socialize teaching strategies aimed at developing skills in students and teachers.
