Resumen

The objective is to describe the process from planning to curricular evaluation of the Professional School of Librarianship and Information Sciences of the UNMSM. Within the framework of the national accreditation, several educational documents related to the standards of the study plan, characteristics of the study plan, competency-based approach, graduation profile, achievement of competencies, follow-up to the graduate and educational objectives were reviewed. In order to achieve this objective, the evaluation of the 2018 curriculum was proposed using the methodology with the qualitative and descriptive approach. The elements of the curricular design were reviewed, the occupational analysis, the correlation matrix of social demand, labor market and study plan and the V Evaluation-Planning model were applied. The results show a rigid curricular design whose evaluation denotes a lack of internal and external consistency in the study plan with the social demand that leads the librarian to assume middle management and operational roles, as a result of the formation of the study plans.
