Abstract
Se realiza un análisis crítico del actual currículum español de química de la educación secundaria, referido en la normativa del Ministerio de Educación (ME) y de la Comunidad Valenciana (CV). En la ESO, el del ME está poco acotado y se encuentra escasamente organizado, con notables ausencias, a diferencia del de la CV, que encuentra fundamentación en la investigación en la enseñanza de la química. En el bachillerato, un número excesivo de especificaciones sobrecargan el del ME, siguiendo una tradición de rigidez curricular, que dificulta atender propuestas fundamentadas de hacerlo menos extenso y más comprensible y asequible para el alumnado.
