Abstract

The scientific article emerges as a finding on the study of the Curricular Research: Its Practice and Methodological Proceeding, unveils the processes developed by the researchers of the Master's Program in Curriculum of the Pedagogical Institute of Barquisimeto for the construction of the curricular theory. The research is crystallized in the interpretative paradigm with a qualitative approach, the heuristic procedure was developed under the modality of curricular research based on hermeneutics through two cycles, that is, understanding and interpretation, with the purpose of unifying the curricular doings, knowledges and tasks tending to the construction of the curricular theory. The information was processed through matrices, triangulation and theorization were used as a technique to generate substantive theoretical constructs that promote progress in the pedagogical episteme of the Line of Research: Curricular Innovations in and for Social Development. Finally, it is interpreted that the construction of the curricular theory is a practical, systemic and emergent task of the teacher to build theoretical constructs from the holistic understanding of the educational fact, in order to recreate the doings, knowledges and tasks tending to guide the curriculum in its design, development, evaluation and management.
