Study Notes
Curriculum Implementation: Defined
- Curriculum implementation involves putting into practice the written curriculum found in syllabi, course of study, curricular guides, and subject areas.
- Learners acquire planned knowledge, skills, and attitudes, aiming to enable them to function effectively in society.
Key Figures and Ideas
- Ornstein and Hunkins (1998): Curriculum implementation is the interaction between the written curriculum and those responsible for delivering it.
- Loucks and Lieberman (1983): Curriculum implementation is the practical application of new practices within school systems. In the classroom, it means "teaching."
- Kurt Lewin's Force Field Theory: There are always two opposing forces in education: driving forces (pushing for change) and restraining forces (resisting change).
Categories of Curriculum Change (McNeil, 1990)
