Optimizarea gândirii elevilor prin monitorizarea curriculumului școlar [Articol]

Abstract

This paper explores school curriculum monitoring as a strategic approach to optimizing students’ thinking development. The study aims to establish a theoretical and methodological framework that links curriculum design with cognitive progress, emphasizing critical, logical, and creative thinking skills. The research methodology combines documentary analysis of curricular policies and national regulations in the Republic of Moldova with psychological perspectives (Piaget, Vygotsky, Bruner), classroom observation, and the development of practical monitoring tools (grids, rubrics, reflective journals, observation sheets). Findings highlight the need for an integrative and transdisciplinary monitoring process, focused on competences, formative feedback, and the dynamics of cognitive processes. The paper concludes that curriculum monitoring, when guided by clear principles and validated tools, is essential for enhancing students’ thinking and raising the overall quality of education.
