CURRICULUM AS AN INNOVATION TOOL

Abstract

This study investigated how the integration of curriculum, innovative methodologies, and educational technologies can transform the teaching-learning process, aiming to answer the following question: how can these elements contribute to creating a more dynamic curriculum adapted to the demands of the 21st century? The main objective was to analyze the possibilities of this integration in the educational context, promoting more meaningful learning connected with contemporary demands. The research adopted an exclusively bibliographic approach, reviewing studies, articles, and books related to the topic. In the development, the importance of interdisciplinarity, the use of active methodologies, and educational technologies was discussed as essential elements for curriculum innovation. The research found that, when applied integrally, these approaches can make teaching more inclusive, flexible, and engaging. The final considerations highlighted the need for continuous teacher training and the restructuring of the curriculum for the successful implementation of these changes, suggesting that future studies investigate the practical impacts of these transformations on student performance and school management.
