Abstract: Abstract This study attempts to explore why and how a school introduces the junior school-based curriculum project through interdepartmental collaboration. This curriculum project exemplifies an actual experience of how the interplay of internal and external factors bring about different modes of curriculum integration. This study, which offers an insider's view, is a qualitative research adopting a case study strategy. Semi-structured interviews, participation observation and documentary analysis are the major methods of data collection. This study analyzes the operation of the school-based curriculum project and its development. It also reveals how the interplay of both promoting and impeding factors has affected the introduction and operation of the SBCD project. The study illustrates that the interplay of external reform force, internal educational needs, power-coercive strategies as well as empirical-rational strategies motivated the case school to initiate SBCD project. In the implementation phase, power-coercive strategies and empirical-rational strategies were employed in the case school; however, it was supplemented by normative-re-educative strategies in the case school. Regarding the institutionalization stage, "top- down" decision-making model gave way to "bottom-up" model; front-line teacher took more ownership in midst of open, trusteeship and collaborative working culture. Factors are identified and the most important are principal's support for providing far-sighted vision and direction, teacher professionalism and leadership for offering long-term and practical capacity of change, congruent motivation and school culture for fostering collaborative and harmonious working culture and participants' responsibilities and ownership for enhancing freedom and devotion. The findings also reveal two variations which are insufficiently addressed in previous research studies: shared vision and priority of education goals providing direction in curriculum development, and organization structure and collaborative culture for sustaining long term and large-scale SBCD initiation. The case school's SBCD project offers insight on the initiation and development of curriculum integration in the local context and reveals that SBCD provides great momentum facilitating progress and development in school. Additionally, research findings reveal that the interdepartmental collaboration can be an effective strategy in implementation large-scale school-based curriculum development. Factors affecting SBCD are analyzed and its implications are drawn to offer new illustrations into existing literature on school-based curriculum development, the development of interdepartmental collaboration, and the progression of cross-curriculum integration in SBCD as well.

Download or read book School Based Curriculum in China written by Yunhuo Cui and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book first develops a framework to understand the curriculum administration system in China. It describes the historical process of localizing school-based curricula as well as the significance and positioning of school-based curricula, and presents in detail cases of how three types of school-based curriculum were developed and implemented in Chinese schools. The book outlines for the first time best practices in school-based curriculum development in China, i.e. how to make a holistic curriculum plan, how to design a curriculum, and how to develop a course in the context of a school-based curriculum. By discussing these three aspects, it clearly summarizes the strategies and technologies for school-based curriculum development, which are applicable across contexts. Although the concept originated outside China, school-based curriculum development in China differs from that in other countries both in theory and practice. This book equips readers with theoretical and practical knowledge of how to develop school-based curricula and how to generate experiences for new curriculum development. This timely book is a valuable resource for researchers, curriculum designers, school teachers and others who are interested in school-based curriculum development.
Download or read book School Based Curriculum Development written by Malcolm Skilbeck and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The review, evaluation and development of the curriculum are widely recognized as the school's fundamental responsibility. Changes in the social, cultural, economic and political climate, in students and their needs, and in our understanding of how and why students learn, all demonstrate the need for a new professionalism and resourcefulness among teachers. This book deals with these changes and their implications for the curriculum. Ways of planning, reviewing, evaluating and developing the curriculum to meet new needs are placed in the context of the emerging national curriculum framework, which in the 1980s, will become common to all schools. This book is a comprehensive introduction to curriculum-development processes, and a practical guide for teachers, advisers, consultants and project developers.

Download or read book Curriculum Schooling and Society in Hong Kong written by Paul Morris and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hong Kong is a fascinating place for the study of curriculum. Its schooling system is influenced by the legacies of a Chinese tradition and British colonialism and was developed at a time when, around the world, that state was taking more responsibility for the education of young people and educational policies were increasingly influenced by the impact of globalization. To this we can add the complexities of Hong Kong as a society--one that has witnessed major political and economic changes over the past 150 years or so, and particularly since the late 1970s. The dynamics produce an intricate interplay of innovation and conservatism, globalization and localization, liberalism and authoritarianism, devolution and centralization, and many other tensions. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to curriculum as a field of study in a way which highlights its inherent dilemmas and complexities by illustrating the diverse ways in which a curriculum can be developed and analyzed. It also presents a specific analysis of the Hong Kong school curriculum and highlights the ways in which the curriculum both reflects and changes in response to broader socio-political shifts."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Changing the Curriculum written by Bob Adamson and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Target Oriented Curriculum (TOC) is arguably the most comprehensive, fundamental and controversial attempt to promote systemic curriculum reform in Hong Kong. It aimed at a radical change in the nature of knowledge, pedagogy and assessment in schools. After an initial phase of confusion and criticism, this ambitious reform was revamped and vigorously promoted, but within a few years, it totally lost momentum as other educational issues attracted the attention of policy-makers. This book traces the career of TOC and studies the impact of the reform on the education system, subjects, schools and teachers. Drawing on a four-year multi-level research project, the chapters provide a deep understanding of the complex nature of educational reform and how a new curriculum is interpreted, developed and implemented. Besides providing a fascinating portrayal of the experiences of the TOC reform, this book offers lessons for future curriculum change in Hong Kong and elsewhere. 'This', writes Ivor Goodson in the Foreword, 'is curriculum research at its best.'
