Study Notes

Curriculum Management Study

Focuses on its origin, development, current situation, and trend

Origin and Development

Curriculum management study originated in 1954
The Journal of the American Dietetic Association published "Developing criteria for institution management curricula”
It began a discussion on regulating instruction for future dieticians.
There have been 20009 records with "curriculum management" as a research topic up to Feb. 16th 2019
Since 2000, attention toward this topic has been increasing
17481 records exist between 2000 to 2019, accounting for 87.4% of all digital records found.
2017 had the highest amount of annually published records
927 records exist with “curriculum management” in paper titles
794 of such records are from 2000 to 2019
2016 had the highest amount of annually published records
The amount of cited times of all records by the authors or other researchers is 1795 and 1734, which in total is almost four times of its own amount

Current Situation

Analysis is based on records searched for with "curriculum management" as a research topic.
The research domains include:
- Social science (13,984 79.995%)
- Science technology (12,084 69.126%)

- Physical science (979 5.600%)
- Arts humanities (690 3.947%)
Top ten research areas include:
Educational research (11,763 67.290%)
Health care science services (4,656 26.635%)
Psychology (3,712 21.234%)

General internal medicine (1,746 9.988%)
Public environmental occupational health (1,508 8.627%)
Nursing (1,369 7.831%)
Education is the top research area
Studies in other areas are also concerned with curriculum management
The total amount percentage of all records found in different research areas is almost 200%, which shows records were recalculated in different research areas
This declares curriculum management study is interdisciplinary.
Top ten authors:
Anonymous (96 records)
Wang J (18 records)
Watt-Watson J (16 records)
Aggarwal R (15 records)
Darzia (15 records)
Wand H (15 records)
Aggarwal Rajesh (14 records)
Darzi Ara (14 records)
Grant M (14 records)
Hong Hoo-jo G (14 records)
The top one author is “anonymous,” which is an institution, and all published records are mainly guidelines that regulate practical instruction.
Curriculum management study targets how to realize educational aims throughout industries by researchers, not only educational circles.
Top research area in education
All 565 records found, including 16 papers, citation times are 20 or more
Papers focused on the aim, content, application, evaluation, and development of curricula for special purposes
Top ten authors:

Since the amount of the papers whose authors are on the list is very small, curriculum management study by beginning and leading researchers are still beginners compared with those leading researchers in other fields
The content of these researches focus on curriculum design and application in general, trying to discuss with different educational aims and backgrounds on how education is realized by curriculum and instruction
Only American universities are on the list of top ten institution publication amount lists
Top ten institutions:

Importance and globalization of educational qualification control via curriculum management have been confirmed again and have drawn attentions from more and more research circles

Future Research

Medicine education curriculum and instruction study has led curriculum management research
Top ten research areas are health care science services, psychology, behavioral sciences, general internal medicine, public environmental occupational health, and nursing
Top ten record sources include "ACADEMIC MEDICINE JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN MEDICAL COLLEGES", "ACADEMIC MEDICINE", "MEDICAL TEACHER", "JOURNAL OF DENTAL EDUCATION", "BMC MEDICAL EDUCATION", "JOURNAL OF GENERAL INTERNAL MEDICIN", and "NURSE EDUCATION TODAY"
Records with the most citation times:

“Wound bed preparation: a systematic approach to wound management” (cited 519 times)
Papers focused on how to educate future medicine staff so that curricula and instructions can be regulated and effective nationwide
With qualified education, medicine operations in real by these future stuff will be professional even during the internship periods
565 papers exist in the research area of education with "curriculum management" in paper titles, and there are 16 records cited 20 or more times, among which only two are not related to medicine
Papers cited for and more than 29 times:

Future research leaders will be in medicine education curriculum and instruction study with both research forces and possibilities
The needs of medicine education are urgent, practical, and should be standardized
Future research will focus on what to teach and how to teach
Curriculum management bridges educational theories and all curriculum-related problems
Focuses including setting curriculum aims, selecting curriculum contents, realizing curriculum application and curriculum evaluation, as well as development of curricula for special purposes

Summary

Curriculum management study began by raising questions as to what to do about curriculum and instruction
Questions have struck responsive chords in the hearts of people in and out of the educational circle
Media guide the changing of topics that ordinary people daily talk about educationally related conversations
The desire to realize teaching aims and confusion of how drives development
Education should be customized to meet needs of every learner
The confusion about what to teach and how to teach is shared, but there is no standardized answer
Barriers of development are concrete problems can’t be solved by abstract problem-solving guidance
Universities, especially American ones, need to contribute more
Educational theories have to bridge to education practically
Real-life curriculum and instruction practices have to solidify the theory bases, otherwise problems cannot be solved systematically and scientifically
Researchers in universities should pay more attention to real-life educational situations and provide training and help to support educators in fields
Collections of workshops and conferences solving curriculum management problems are welcomed
