Abstract

The purpose of this research work is to clarify some omissions and distortions about Tyler's work since the late 1970s, especially the role of behavioral objectives in the curriculum, as well as to present some aspects of his life that are not well known in Ibero-America. Part of the information used in this work is based on several bibliographic sources and interviews that the author gave throughout his life. It is concluded that although Tyler used behavioral objectives, he was critical of them. Likewise, Tylerian thought was never static. At the end of his life the author's thought had certain constructivism hints.
