Abstract

Curriculum design involves several kinds of tensions: (1) tensions between the national educational system and the individual’s autonomous development, (2) tensions between the standard language and regional and social varieties, and (3) tensions between Norms of the educational system and individual practices. All of them fit into the broader tension between freedom and equality. In fact, the curriculum design is oriented to preserve, enhance and exercise these two high values, and therefore moves dialectically because it oscillates permanently between phenomena and values in tension. It seeks equal opportunities, but also fosters individual development. It wants to consolidate equality in access to scientific and cultural heritage, but respects the heterogeneity of individuals and social groups. It proposes linguistic standardization, but appreciates regional and social dialects
