Abstract
This article presents the experience of evaluating the curriculum of an Ecuadorian Higher Technological Institute in the formulation and implementation of a system for monitoring the application of the curriculum. A descriptive and documentary research was carried out with a participatory action research methodology that allowed obtaining relevant information in each of the phases of the proposed model for curricular monitoring. The results of the application of the system showed that the career projects required curricular adjustments due to changes in national regulations, as well as adjustments in the micro-curricular description of some subjects of the approved projects to specify the scope of the contents and learning outcomes in relation to the graduation profile. Minimal differences were also found between the official curriculum and the operational curriculum in the teaching-learning process and the need to update the professional profile assessment instruments was determined to effectively verify satisfaction with academic training. It was concluded that monitoring the curriculum requires commitment from the educational community so that the systematized information in each of the phases of the proposed model can justify the decision-making necessary for the improvement of the curriculum.
