Contemporary critical approaches to Curriculum research. The role of teachers.

The following text attempts a systematic overview of the study and research of the Curriculum (AP), mainly through the perspective of critical pedagogy, seeking to detect and capture the participation of teachers in its composition. The approaches presented here focus on the particularly demanding role of the teacher-researcher of the practice itself, who, being able to observe it, has the opportunity to develop the Curriculum himself. In this way he is on a dynamic course of continuous professional development, which just means being able to do his job better and more efficiently. In this direction, the critical reflection on the relationship between the educator and the development of the Curriculum, the theoretical framework of the scientific discussion on the research and the composition of the AP, determine the extent of the contribution of the present work.
