Over several years and in several instances has been raised on the need to review ECS our curriculum of studies and academic administrative structure of the school. Referring to what must first be noted that, as is well known for our community, the curriculum of studies in 1987 and is structured from an understanding of social communication problems entrenched in the paradigms and concepts that were in force at the time it was conceived. There is no logic in the university the possibility of going to align all curricula to changes that may be occurring in the various disciplines. By contrast the academic logic compels us to accumulate cash them until they need to adapt to 'new age' forces us to assume the task of adjusting the way our training programs are designed.
certainly have begun the process of reviewing and updating the programs of different departments. That task is crucial and we must end it promptly to the effect that this body approves new programs and adequate updated bibliography and greater clarity about the objectives in each of them. This activity is urgent, however, insufficient. In my opinion we should move towards a full and extensive review of the curriculum of the school. That seems to be as an activity that we can not postpone. There are specific issues worth noting: On the one hand there seems to be consistency in the arrangement of their contents. You understand, for example, that the materials of the Department of Methods should be located in the first half of the race, this is particularly true of computers. The same true for subjects like geography and international politics, social problems, which despite the efforts of the teachers seem isolated or insufficient connection with the rest of the subjects that constitute the entire curriculum.
I think we need a stronger link between the departments. The subjects of each of them must cross disciplinary manner so that the training of future professionals is much more consistent. Instead of having separate departments as islands, we must define a mechanism that allows us to interconnect, so that the work occurring in each one of them is relevant to others. We review the issue of skills, I think you will find that they do not respond adequately to the needs of the labor market or the academic needs of communication logic. In some ways we are working at the wrong from a conception of communication and its problems lies in the late eighties of last century. We can not assume the challenges of our times from a conception of the ECS and their problems, their way of organizing that goes back 22 years. We can not do without a comprehensive review of the profile of our graduates. We can not do without rethinking school logos from the field and from the practice field with the intention of incorporating knowledge of these areas of knowledge and channel in the formation of a truly integrated communicator.
is imperative that we organize and participate in a series of activities that lead us to establish a forum for discussion on the issues raised. The Management and from the Academic Coordinator of the ECS call on this effort to review, update and adapt and request the support and commitment of the School Council. In this sense it is an appropriate occasion to request the establishment of an immediate way to Ad-Hoc Committee for the revision of the curriculum. A first activity of this commission should be to review the material on this matter rest on Gustavo Leal Library and are the result of work in this direction was enhanced by the school community a few years ago. A second activity should be to convene and organize the first meeting as soon as work expanded with the participation of the Heads of Department and Chair and teachers concerned. A third task must be to organize the course of Competency Curriculum dictates SADPRO, for which it is awaiting the financial offer to be provided by the ECS and is intended to provide the tools that were necessary to consistently take the process of change in our curriculum. These tasks are urgent in view of the same answer, In my opinion, a number of needs and aspirations felt by the academic community of the school.
On the second issue mentioned, it is necessary to review the way it is organized into academic and administrative school. We have eight departments and too many chairs. This is a school that was conceived in a stellar moment in which we had a sufficient number of full-time faculty and dedication, which have been retiring, which had not been possible to guarantee a replacement of equivalent positions. On the contrary, many of these faculty positions have been replaced by part-time teachers, conventional and / or hours dais. This has into question our ability to conduct research and extension, to call for participation in various committees, even to fill the vacancies in the various chairs and departments.
We need to think in a departmental structure more agile and flexible, allowing a more rational use of teaching resources available at the school. But more importantly, it is necessary to move into a department of interdisciplinary design, which is producing a convergence between knowledge of diverse disciplines and producing a "conceptual construct" more consistent, more coherent face Change Research Program has been raised. On this matter there is much to discuss. After all it is necessary to ensure that each 'academic space' differentiable has a recognition that translates into the existence of a department, but, equally, it is necessary to perform a more consistent distribution of subjects and associated knowledge.
An initial proposal is to unify the departments of Political and Social Cs and Cs. Communication in what would be a Department of Cs. Communication and Society. It noted that both departments relate their activities to training in theoretical and conceptual categories in the field Social Communication. In my opinion there is no valid academic reason which justifies the subjects of these departments are not located under the same nomenclature. The integration of these departments shall promote theoretical metaconstrucción a conception of social communication that is capable of efficiently contribute to the redefinition of our curriculum. The complementary nature of the materials of these departments and their theoretical and conceptual vocation we suggest an integrated department to ensure that theoretical and conceptual consistency of our graduates.
understand that the Department of Cs of Communication and Society should become at a point of convergence between the different elements that add to the vocational school graduates in regard to theoretical and conceptual aspects of interdisciplinary to help ensure a consistent understanding on the Social Communication conceived as a process and the problems associated with it. We understand that since that understanding the courses of the department serve as support for different professional and life skills that come together in determining the curriculum of school, becoming a space for the convergence of the scientific, philosophical, sociological , political with proper communication. The department must meet the following objectives:
- Promote the conceptual discussion and the construction of theoretical and methodological categories in the field of social communication.
- Provide information and training in various areas of study and about the various approaches that constitute the scope of discussion of the Theory of Communication and Cs. Society, from a broad perspective that incorporates various categories and transdisciplinary theoretical concepts.
- Support the study of theoretical, conceptual, epistemological and ontological join the study of social communication from an interdisciplinary perspective.
- encourage critical thinking and the integration of theoretical and conceptual categories.
- Contribute to building an integrated view of the theory and practice of social communication that is based on a proper understanding and consistent communication about the context of the country from a historical perspective and current. This
according to the following structure:
- Chair of Communication Theory, Communication Psychology, Communication Theory, Socio-Political Communication, Theory Public Opinion, Philosophical, Philosophy of Communication, Seminars and / or electives.
- Chair of Cs. Social Policy: International Politics, Contemporary Social Issues, Geography, American History, History of Venezuela, History of Communication, Ethics and Law, seminars and / or electives.
worth noting that in addition to the above, the integration of the Department of Cs. Social Policy and the Department of Communication Cs in a Cs Department. Communication and Society, guarantees the existence of a department with a functional structure in which it would have a significant number of full-time professors and part-time, some of which participate in the PPI and advance research and extension activities.
