高中「新興科學技術」學校本位課程發展與實施之評鑑研究

Curriculum implementation is one of the key aspects of the curriculum development process. The success of any educational policy depends on the accomplishing of the objectives of the policy. However, despite the desire to make learning more relevant to the needs of the learners by bringing into context all the skills, attitudes, values and competencies from the three subject areas (Geography, History and Civics) into one (Social Studies). The implementation of the 2013 revised junior secondary school Social Studies curriculum still remain a challenge. The purpose of this study was to analyse the implementation of the junior secondary school Social Studies curriculum in Chingola district. The researchers used a phenomenological research design. 71 participants comprising of 40 teachers of Social Studies, 20 learners of Social Studies, 10 secondary school head teachers and the District Education Standards Officer were sampled for the study. Data was collected from the District Education Standards Officer, Head teachers and teachers using interview schedules. From the learners, data was collected using focus group discussion schedules and then a document analysis schedule was also used to collect data from policy documents and school-based curriculum implementation documents. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that the time allocated to the implementation of Social Studies in schools was inadequate. Further, Social Studies was being taught through specialization by teachers who were trained in subject areas like Geography, History and Civic Education a scenario which contributed to the poor performance of learners. The researchers recommended that the Ministry of General Education through the Curriculum Development Centre should consider allocating more time (periods) to the implementation of Social Studies, expedite the training and recruitment of Social Studies teachers and encourage Continuous Professional Development (CPD) meetings both at district and school levels for the purpose of capacity building.

The thrust of this study was to assess the teachers’ views on the impact of teachers’ unions on curriculum development and implementation in schools of OR Tambo Inland Education District. The government of democracy in South Africa necessitated the design and development of curriculum to be a transformed and inclusive curriculum offered in learning institutions such as schools, colleges and universities irrespective of the colour, gender, disabilities, race, and religion of the registered learners. The rationale for the design of a transformed and inclusive curriculum was crucial to redress the imbalances of the past apartheid which was characterised by or with segregated curriculum on the basis of colour, disabilities, and gender. The researchers adopted a qualitative approach, making use of the case study research design. Data were collected from a sample of ten purposefully chosen secondary schools, with one teacher serving as a participant from each secondary school. Semi-structured interviews were conducted face-to-face with 10 teachers of the selected secondary schools. A thematic approach was used to analyse the collected data. It emerged that the stakeholders like teachers, principals, teacher unions, and communities, were marginalised in curriculum development by Department of Basic Education officials. The marginalisation of teacher unions has a negative impact on the implementation of the curriculum by teachers. Collaboration of stakeholders like teacher unions, researchers, and book-publishers to mention a few, in curriculum planning and development by DBE is the key to the success and implementation. The study outcomes encourage the training on and usage of technological skills for online meetings by stakeholders.

2015 개정 교육과정이 단위 학교에 적용되고 있는 상황에서, 이 연구는 호주와 영국의 국가교육과정 적용과 지원 사례를 살펴보고 우리나라 국가교육과정 적용 지원에 대한 시사점 얻기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 호주와 영국의 국가교육과정 적용 지원과 관련 문헌 및 자료들을 검토하고 각 국가의 교육과정 담당자 및 교사를 대상으로 심층 면담하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 세 가지 주제로 분석되었다. 첫째, 호주와 영국에서는 국가교육과정 개발 과정을 공개하고 교육 당사자 간에 활발하고 적극적인 소통이 이루어지고 있었으며, 이는 국가교육과정에 대한 사회적 공감대를 형성하게 하고 새로운 교육과정을 보급 전파 하는 기회로도 작용하고 있었다. 둘째, 호주와 영국은 교사들이 국가교육과정을 적용할 수 있도록 워크숍 형태의 교사연수나 특화된 온라인 프로그램을 활용한 연수, 교과별 교사 네트워크나 TS(Teaching School)을 활용한 교사 전문성 신 장에 많은 관심을 두고 있었다. 셋째, 호주와 영국 모두 정부가 발행하는 교과서는 없었으나 교사들이 국가교육과정을 적용할 수 있도록 다양한 유형의 교수 학습 자료를 개발하여 제공하고 있었으며, 교육과정과 관련된 자료를 쉽게 찾아 다운 받을 수 있도록 온라인 사이트들을 서로 연동하여 개발하는 등 자료의 활용도를 높이기 위한 노력을 하고 있었다. 이 연구는 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 우리나라 국가교육과정 적용 지원 방식에 대한 시사점을 도출하여 논의하였다.The 2015 revised national curriculum has been implemented to first year students in elementary school, and will be expanded to middle school and high school from next year, 2018 school year. As of this year, the ways of implementing the curriculum and supporting teachers to better implement the curriculum into their classrooms are crucial. This study explores the implications for building curriculum supporting and implementing system by investigating relevant systems in foreign countries, such as Australia and England. In order to achieve the purpose, this study conducts literature review and previous studies in regards to the curriculum implementing and supporting system, interviews with curriculum developers and teachers, and analyzes their web-sites of the two countries. The results shows that active communication is essential among curriculum developers and curriculum implementers including school teachers and other stake-holders, and this communication can be achieved by building systematic ways; second, professional development for teachers should be recommended by supporting integrated and systematic teaching-learning process; third, the principal agent for curriculum implementation, school teachers, should have the autonomy for implementing the curriculum. The detailed ways for realizing the three implications are suggested.

Globally, learning institutions at primary school level experience a gap in instructional leadership that fosters curriculum implementation. Research has established that those instructional leaders (heads of schools) determine the impact that teaching and learning processes in school has on learners’ academic performance. This study was designed to establish the extent of implementation of Competency-Based Curriculum in early years education in public and private schools. The study was also to determine the relationship between instructional leadership and implementation of Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in early years education in Kenya. The study was guided by Michael Fullan’s Theory of Change. The dependent variable was implementation of Competency-Based Curriculum in early years education while the independent variable was instructional leadership. E-questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect data which was analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods. The results showed there was no difference in the implementation of curriculum between private and public primary schools. The relationship between instructional leadership and implementation of competency-based curriculum was significant at 0.05. The results also indicated that most head teachers focused more on administrative roles than activities that support curriculum implementation. It was therefore recommended that for effective curriculum implementation in early years education, head teachers needed to be intentionally trained on how to support teachers and learners in the related processes

In higher education, English-medium instruction (EMI) has attracted considerable attention in recent years. However, curriculum issues in EMI, such as curriculum planning, implementation, and evaluation, have remained largely unattended. This conceptual article introduces a systematic, structured approach to EMI curriculum-making in higher education. The article begins with a review of curriculum concepts and relevant literature, followed by an explanation of four recursive processes for EMI curriculum-making (curriculum components, curriculum organization, curriculum implementation, and curriculum evaluation). Then, a 4C framework for EMI curriculum-making is proposed and illustrated, including coverage, confluence, coherence, and criticality. Essentially, the framework serves as a conceptual apparatus that enables EMI researchers and practitioners (in different disciplines) to unravel the complexities involved in EMI curriculum-making. We further illustrate the possibility of EMI teacher development as a mediator to enact this framework and point out possible directions for future research.

This study explored the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into curriculum implementation processes using a dual methodology that combined questionnaire administration and analysis of academic program curriculum objectives. The underlying rationale was that incorporating select SDGs into relevant programs can enrich and diversify curriculum implementation processes, thereby enhancing their relevance and effectiveness. The study undertook a qualitative questionnaire survey design, and by administering a questionnaire to students and reviewing academic programme curriculum objectives, this study investigated the inclusion of aspects of SDGs in curriculum implementation processes. The sample comprised 600 students in three faculties of management studies, education, and social sciences, and 340 students filled and returned the questionnaire. The rationale was that the processes of curriculum implementation could be enriched and diversified by including contemporary aspects like some of the 17 SDGs goals in related programs. There is limited attention paid to the promotion of SDGs in curriculum development processes in Uganda’s higher education institutions (HEIs). Engaging HEIs in the pursuit of SDGs can significantly facilitate the attainment of these objectives. As centres of diverse stakeholders, including students, faculty, researchers, and community partners, HEIs possess a unique capacity to leverage their collective expertise, resources, and influence to drive SDG implementation. This espouses existing literature that the numerous gaps in higher education training, coupled with the high degree of indigenization of knowledge through geographically inclined curriculum designs and implementation, and gaps in graduate competencies and skills, call for a very diversified intervention.

There are ongoing initiatives in curriculum development and implementation in Ireland and internationally in order to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes of learners. This article is the first historical longitudinal analysis of primary school curriculum development and implementation in Ireland from the 1890s to the 1990s. The purpose of the paper is to distil key lessons from the history of curriculum development and implementation to inform contemporary policy and practice. The paper begins by situating current curriculum discourse and developments in both a national and international context. It then delineates the three main curriculum reforms undertaken in Ireland in the period under review. The section relating to each period includes an overview of the societal context in which the curriculum was developed, the process of development, the content of each curriculum and its implementation. Three key themes emerge from the analysis – the impact of wider societal factors on curriculum, the impact of the radical nature of curriculum change attempted and a lack of focus on planning for implementation.

The impact of religious organizations on curriculum implementation in Kenya is perceived differently by stakeholders. The first secondary schools in colonial Kenya were established by Christian missionaries. Their participation has been viewed by stakeholders as either positive or negative. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of religious organizations on implementation of curriculum in public secondary schools in former Western province of Kenya. The study was conducted in Bungoma, Busia, Kakamega and Vihiga counties of former Western province of Kenya. The study is based on Ludwig Von Bertalanffy Theory of General Systems from which the Systems Approach in the learning process is derived. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The target population included: four County Directors of Education, twenty two Sub-County Education Officers, principals and teachers in secondary schools, religious leaders and students. Of the twenty two (22) sub-counties, the researcher used purposive sampling to carry out the study in ten sub-counties. This gave a total of 621 students, 120 teachers, 60 principals of secondary schools, 5 Islamic leaders, 10 church leaders, 2 County Directors of Education, 4 Sub- county Education Officers and 1 curriculum developer. This gave a sample size of 823 respondents. The instruments for data collection were questionnaires for principals, teachers, students and interview schedule for religious leaders as well as Education Officers. Focus Group Discussion and Observation Schedule were also used. To establish validity and reliability, the instruments for data collection were assessed by subject experts from the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. The questionnaires were also piloted and the anomalies were corrected before the researcher went to the field. Presentation and analysis of data was based on the objective of the study and was put in form of tables, bar-graphs, pie-charts and descriptions. The findings were that religious organizations have an impact on curriculum implementation in secondary schools. Sadly some of the religious organizations cause divisions in the schools they sponsor by recommending the transfer of teachers as well as antagonizing the principals who do not profess the same faith as the sponsor. From the above findings the conclusions made were that religious organizations have an impact on curriculum implementation in schools as they complement efforts of the Government of Kenya in provision of education. The policy framework given to religious organizations is not strong enough to take care of curriculum needs in the present day school environment. It was therefore recommended that religious organizations revisit their initial role in matters curriculum. There should be clear policy guidelines on the impact of religious organizations on curriculum implementation in secondary schools which should go beyond spiritual nourishment, guidance and counseling and teaching of Religious Education in schools in public secondary schools in Kenya.

The curriculum is a system of learning programs directed towards achieving the goals of educational institutions. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to describe the management of higher education curriculum using a qualitative approach to multi-site studies at Suaka Insan Institute of Health Sciences and Faculty of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Muhammadiyah Banjarmasin. The research subjects are the dean of the faculty, chair of the Institute of Health Science, head of the study program, and the lecturers. Data collection methods used include interviews, observation, and documentation study while data validity is conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results showed curriculum planning is obtained based on the vision and mission of the institution, input from lecturers, study programs, and stakeholders. The implementation of the curriculum is following the standards of the Curriculum of Higher Education (KPT) and Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI) but, in the learning process, Student-Centered Learning (SCL) method had not been optimally implemented due to the limited ability of lecturers. Curriculum evaluation is not comprehensive because only the lecturer's performance and student learning outcomes are evaluated. The implementation of the Paulinian Ethics institution curriculum and the Islamic values of Al Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan had inconsistencies, like undisciplined

Medical training has traditionally focused on the proximate determinants of disease, with little focus on how social conditions influence health. The authors conducted a scoping review of existing curricula to understand the current programs designed to teach primary care residents about the social determinants of health (SDH). In January and March 2017, the authors searched seven databases. Eligible articles focused on primary care residents, described a curriculum related to SDH, were published between January 2007 and January 2017, and were based in the United States. Of the initial 5,523 articles identified, 43 met study eligibility criteria. Most programs (29; 67%) were in internal medicine. Sixteen studies (37%) described the curriculum development process. Overall, 20 programs (47%) were short or one-time sessions, and 15 (35%) were longitudinal programs lasting at least 6 months. Thirty-two programs (74%) reported teaching SDH content using didactics, 22 (51%) incorporated experiential learning, and many programs (n = 38; 88%) employed both. Most studies reported satisfaction and/or self-perceived changes in knowledge or attitudes. The authors identified wide variation in curriculum development, implementation, and evaluation. They highlight curricula that considered community and resident needs, used conceptual frameworks or engaged multiple stakeholders to select content, used multiple delivery methods, and focused evaluation on changes in skills or behaviors. This review highlights the need not only for systematic, standardized approaches to developing and delivering SDH curricula but also for developing rigorous evaluation of the curricula, particularly effects on resident behavior.

Data were collected through observations and interviews with the school principal, teachers, and curriculum developers' representatives. The data were analyzed using the methods of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that curriculum management at IT Mentari Ilmu Elementary School has effectively followed the stages of planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation.

Curriculum material is generally considered the subject matter of information, talents, dispositions, understandings, and principles that make up research programs in the field. At a more complex level, the curricula need to contain historical and socio-political strengths, traditions, cultural views, and goals with wide differences in sovereignty, adaptation, and local understanding that encompass a diversity of cultures, laws, metaphysics, and political discourse This study aims to develop a curriculum with local content as a new approach in early childhood science learning. The Local Content Curriculum (LCC) is compiled and developed to preserve the uniqueness of local culture, natural environment, and community crafts for early childhood teachers so that they can introduce local content to early childhood. Research and model development combines the design of the Dick-Carey and Dabbagh models with qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that local content curriculum products can be supplemented into early childhood curricula in institutions according to local conditions. Curricula with local content can be used as a reinforcement for the introduction of science in early childhood. The research implication demands the concern of all stakeholders to see that the introduction of local content is very important to be given from an early age, so that children know, get used to, like, maintain, and love local wealth from an early age.

The development of science, technology, and arts, as well as the development and social changes of a community, is so rapid. Thus, the challenge of the future education is not easy. Education is a cultural strategy and is not merely a conscious effort. As an educational institution, High School (SMA) has a very strategic role to restore education to the spirit and identity of Indonesia. The principal has a very important role to play in his/her vision and mission, and the school's organizational culture is an essential component of success in his/her leadership. The organizational culture-based “among” system leadership model is considered appropriate to be implemented by the principal. Therefore, it is necessary to further observe the leadership model and value system that is the organizational culture in the school. In general, this study aimed to describe the organizational culture-based “among” system leadership model in five public and private multicultural high schools, and those which are religiously affiliated in the city of Yogyakarta. The five schools include SMA Negeri 3, Taman Madya Tamansiswa High School, SMA PIRI I (Islam), Christian BOPKRI I High School, and Catholic Marsudi Luhur High School, all of which are in Yogyakarta City. This study employed a qualitative approach with data from the natural background as the source of primary data. This study aims to know and simultaneously describe the leadership model of the organizational culture-based “among” system of the schools in Yogyakarta City. The study was designed as a multi-case study model. To be able to understand the meaning of such events and interactions, theoretical orientation and theoretical perspective with a phenomenological approach were employed. Based on the results of the documentary, observation, and interviews studies, this study shows differences between the five high schools although nuances to Indonesia is in fact still reflected in it. The differences can be interpreted as a diversity that is a reflection of the specificity and typicality of the schools concerned. Besides, it was found that the organizational culture was developed on the basis of local wisdom, nationalism, and Islamic faith. It is these factors that affect the leadership pattern of the principals in the schools. The fact shows that the leadership model implemented in the High Schools in Yogyakarta City dominantly refers to government regulation and or foundation one for the private schools; it also has a multicultural nuance based on the local or religious wisdom or a combination of both. It is implemented with the slogans of silih asih, asuh, and asah which are actually the essence of “among” system leadership model. Islamic schools need to go deeper into the wisdom of Rasulullah Muhammad S.A.W's leadership, known as prophetic leadership, to act as worship, to give priority to ministry, instead of asking to be served. The prominent Christian teaching is the spirit of loving that is based on service which needs a profound interpretation that love is giving rather than asking for services. Therefore, the organizational culture-based among system leadership model of the schools that refers to local, national, and religious wisdom is expected to produce an optimal and sustainable performance.
