Perspectives of teachers and students on the implementation of curricula diversification programmes in secondary schools in the city of Palma (Mallorca)

Résumé

Programs of curricula diversification constitute a support measure to diversity with a long trajectory. Currently, with the application of LOMCE, these programs will become extinct and will be substituted by the Programs of Improvement of Learning and Performance. It is, then, a
good moment for analysis of the programs. The aim of the article is to study the appropriation and implementation of the programs in secondary schools of Palma (Mallorca). Within a larger research, framed in the Spanish Government research project CSO2012-31575, developed by
different universities, the study stage explained here is about the reflection on discourses and positions of, first, teachers and orienteering teams, and, second, students of the program or with a similar educational trajectory. Methodology is qualitative, including interviews and observational techniques. Main data results underpin a positive balance of the program, highlighting the methodology and the group format.
