Desarrollo curricular currículo basado en competencias evaluación curricular. The purpose of this research was to get to know the true curriculum of the Northwestern University’s Get Ahead, a special undergraduate program based on the work competencies model and aimed at adults already in the workforce. The goal was to back up the curricular improvement of an educational alternative unique of its kind in Sonora (Mexico). The methodology of Estevez and Fimbres (1998) was used for the formal curriculum analysis and its comparison with the real curriculum from the perspective of its protagonists: teachers and students. The curriculum’s internal and external sources were analyzed in order to define the instruments and variables, and to interpret the results. We concluded that the teachers showed that the teachers were more up to date than the students in regard to disciplinary topics. However, they lack adequate teaching strategies to make an impact on students’ learning process. Moreover, neither teachers nor students are familiar with the competence model, nor do teachers apply a diagnostic examination to determine their students’ competency at the beginning of the course. This indicates that the formal curriculum is distant from the real curriculum. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo conocer el currículo real del Programa Supérate de la Universidad del Noroeste, diseñado según el modelo de competencias laborales y dirigido a población adulta económicamente activa, con el fin de contribuir a fundamentar el mejoramiento curricular de una alternativa educativa única en su tipo en Sonora (México). Se aplicó la metodología de Estévez y Fimbres (1998) para el análisis del currículo formal y su comparación con el currículo real desde la perspectiva de sus protagonistas: profesores y estudiantes. Se analizaron las fuentes internas y externas del currículo para definir instrumentos y variables, e interpretar los resultados. Se concluye que los profesores mostraron mayor actualización que los estudiantes en tópicos disciplinares; sin embargo, carecen de las estrategias didácticas adecuadas para impactar en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Además, docentes y estudiantes desconocen el modelo de competencias y no se aplica un examen diagnóstico para detectar el nivel de competencias al ingreso, lo cual indica que el currículo formal se encuentra alejado del currículo real.
