The work Introduction to Curriculum Theory integrates, consistently and comprehensively, the fundamentals of curricular conception in postmodern education and analyzes the conceptual and methodological models of educational curriculum development, from a multidimensional perspective (curricular research, concept, processes and curricular products). The paper has the features of a monographic study of reference in the specialized literature, analyzing in an informed way the curricular route traveled, from the epistemological fragility to the consolidated conceptual status, from the present time. Also, the implications for curriculum design, management and practice are revealed in terms of competence-based curricular model and pedagogical constructivism, which gives the value of methodological and operational construct of the paper, useful for researchers, decision makers, students in Education and teachers.
