Chapter 3/ Lesson 1&2 Flashcards
Known as one of the most crucial processes in curriculum development.
Curriculum implementation
Curriculum implementation is the interaction between the curriculum that has been written and planned where the teachers are in charge of delivering it.
Ornstein and Hunkins (1998)
curriculum implementation as trying out of a new practice and what it looks like when used in a school System.
Loucks and Lieberman (1983)
- Implementation is not merely an extension of planning and adoption processes but a phenomenon in its own right.
Fullan & Pomfret (1977)
Three key factors that are essential yet often overlooked in implementing a new curriculum. (The Elementary School Journal Vol. 87, No.1)
1.the realization that various types of actions that support teachers will be required.
2.the identification of who should be responsible for facilitating the changes that teachers will make
3.an understanding of facilitators that change takes a great deal of time and implementation takes several years, even under the best circumstances
The current curriculum shall be substituted or replaced by a new one. Sometimes, we call this a complete overhaul. Example: Changing an old book to an entirely new one, not merely a revision
Substitution
The current or existing curriculum has minor changes. Example: Instead of using a graphing paper for mathematics teaching, this can be altered using a graphing calculator
Alteration
Building a new structure would mean significant change or modification in the school system, degree program, or educational system. Example: Making use of an integrated curriculum for the whole school for K to 12requires both primary and secondary levels to work in
coordination.
Restructuring
These are disruptive changes where teachers
have to adjust to them within a reasonably short time.
Example: If the principal changes the schedule because there is a need to catch up with the national testing time, the teacher must shorten the schedule to accommodate unplanned extracurricular activities.
Perturbations
Responds shift in the emphasis that the teacher provides, which are not within the school’s mission or vision or vice versa. Example: When new teachers who are recruited in religious schools give emphasis on academics and forget the formation of values of faith, they need a curriculum value orientation.
Value orientation
