Study Notes
Curriculum Implementation
- Curriculum implementation is the interaction between curriculum creators and classroom deliverers
- It involves shifting from current to new/modified curriculum; changing knowledge, actions, and attitudes
- Key players include teachers, students, and administrators
- Success relies on ongoing interaction, feedback, and assistance
Lewin's Change Model
- Lewin's model illustrates how driving and restraining forces influence change
- Unfreezing: Reducing restraining forces to stimulate driving forces, encouraging change
- Key forces: Driving forces (e.g., admin pressure, better outcomes), Restraining forces (e.g., lack of resources, fear of unknown)
- Equilibrium: Balanced forces mean no change; change requires reducing restraining forces
Types of Curriculum Change
- Substitution: Replacing one element (e.g., textbook).
- Alteration: Adding new content (e.g., introducing unit).
- Perturbation: Minor disruptions needing adjustments (e.g., new timetable).
- Restructuring: Significant changes affecting the entire system (e.g., new teaching method).
- Value Orientation: Modifying core values and philosophies to guide curriculum (e.g., moving towards student-centered learning).
Resistance to Change
- Lack of understanding: Resisting change due to lack of understanding or requirements
- Lack of ownership: Resisting change perceived as imposed without input
- Lack of competence: Incapability of implementing change due to lacking skills/knowledge
- Lack of incentives: Lack of clear benefits or recognition
- Lack of time: Difficulty balancing change implementation with current responsibilities
Curriculum Implementation Key Players & Roles
- Teachers: Crucial in implementation, adapting to new teaching methods essential
- Students: Willing participation and feedback essential
