The article analyzes curriculum processes and products pertaining to the overall reconstruction of Afghanistan’s education
system after 2002. With the support of several international agencies, including UNESCO’s International Bureau of Education
(IBE), as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Afghanistan’s Ministry of Education succeeded in making important
progress with regard to quality education, curriculum planning and design. Based on a careful analysis of needs, new curriculum
frameworks for primary and secondary education were developed over the period 2002–2006, and syllabuses and textbooks for
primary and secondary education will be developed and disseminated in schools across the country. However, many challenges
remain to be tackled, especially with regard to the dissemination of a new curriculum culture and the writing, printing and
distribution of quality syllabuses and textbooks at all education levels. The article highlights both the achievements and
the obstacles standing in the way of comprehensive curriculum reforms taking place in the difficult context of reconstructing
a cohesive societal infrastructure in a country, such as Afghanistan, that is affected by conflict.

Practitioners' beliefs and children's experiences of literacy in four early years settings 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Linda Miller Alice Paige Smith 《Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development》2004,24(2):121-133
This paper considers practitioners' beliefs about the literacy curriculum in four early years settings in England and the impact on the literacy experiences of the children in these settings. All four settings were working with the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage (QCA/DfEE, 2000) and represent the range of provision in England. One week was spent in each setting and narrative observations were undertaken on 20 target children. Key adults were interviewed about their early years practice, their views of the Foundation Stage guidance, their perceived role as practitioners, parental involvement and their general beliefs about literacy learning and teaching. The practice was studied using child observations and a literacy checklist. Interviews were analyzed and related to the literacy curriculum and literacy practices and provision. The findings have been related to current policy issues in the early years. 相似文献

This paper has two complementary objectives. After providing some theoretical perspectives on fiction generally, and on the teaching of fiction more specifically, it firstly evaluates, from a literary-critical perspective, a reasonably representative selection of the portrayal of teachers and teaching in some twentieth-century Anglo-Irish fiction and memoir. That initial, literary-critical evaluation of the texts, while focusing on aspects of both form and theme, seeks also to uncover the fascinating spectrum of models of teaching represented, some benign, but many quite dark and even, to a degree, sinister. The second half of the paper then suggests a range of pedagogical strategies which could be used, in the sixth-form classroom, to explore the richness and complexities of those portraits and of the contexts against which they are written. That in-depth pedagogical exploration is closely informed by the specifications for AS and A-level English teaching provided by two representative Examination Boards – the Council for Curriculum Examinations and Assessment (CCEA), which is based in Northern Ireland, and the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA) – and the exploration thus is linked closely to the demands and contexts for sixth-form English teaching both in Northern Ireland and in the UK as a whole. 相似文献

The Education Reform (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 requires that all pupils of secondary school age should have equal access to a broad and balanced curriculum. The inclusion of language studies within the statutory framework of the Northern Ireland curriculum has led to a significant expansion in the teaching of modern languages to pupils with special educational needs. Many teachers are now faced with the task of teaching pupils who hitherto would have been excluded from the language department and some teachers in special schools now have to teach a language with which they themselves are unfamiliar. This paper is the first stage of a research and development project funded by the Northern Ireland Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (NICCEA); it examines some research evidence relating to the challenge of teaching languages to pupils with special educational needs. 相似文献

In 1983, Mozambique started reviewing the education system that it had inherited from the Portuguese colonial administration.
One of the innovations introduced into basic education is the time allocated to the local curriculum (LC) within the national
curriculum (NC). The LC enables the communities, including the poorest and those furthest removed from the school environment,
to identify themselves with the importance of schooling and allow children to find meaning in what they learn with respect
to their life in their community. The good practice described below has been introduced in a community school, where it has
successfully brought together the LC and NC to become an individual and collective asset for the community in which it has
been implemented. It is a successful example worth studying in detail.

The article documents the complex process of changing Argentina’s science curriculum and implementing those changes over the
last 15 years. It recounts how reformers tackled the challenges of balancing national (federal) unity in education with local
(provincial) autonomy from the political, social and pedagogical points of view. It also analyzes various attempts to improve
science education in Argentina from the viewpoint of their relevance to current developments in various areas of scientific
knowledge and human action. In Argentina the effort to ensure equal opportunities for learners at the federal level led to
a strong emphasis on developing Common Basic Contents (CBC) for both primary and secondary education. These contents were
seen as fundamental components of the competencies that students need in a world increasingly driven by science and technology.
Meanwhile, however, Argentina lacked adequate and sustainable policies and strategies for teacher education and training,
which led to an unexpected complication: while the curriculum development process led to diverse and sometimes quite sophisticated
curriculum documents, the actual quality of science teaching in the classroom did not improve significantly, and teachers
still felt the need for more support before they could effectively implement the new science curriculum. The article ends
by suggesting ways in which various stakeholders can work together intensively to improve science education in Argentina,
in a new process that will respond to the current situation.

Philip Stabback 《Prospects》2007,37(4):449-467
The article addresses the issue of possible curriculum models in post-conflict countries, taking as an example the case of
Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1996 and 2004. Following the Dayton agreement, the education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina
was divided between 13 ministries administering different Bosnian, Serb and Croat cantons. Despite the functioning of some
central/federal bodies with education responsibilities, such as the Ministry for Civil Affairs, the divided system of education
governance created significant obstacles to the establishment of “national” quality and access frameworks encouraging national
unity and mobility. Over the last ten years, developing a basic education “core curriculum” has been a major emphasis of reform
efforts. This article focuses on issues such as the relative benefits of a common curriculum, a core curriculum and a curriculum
framework in addressing identified deficiencies in existing curricula and contributing to societal renewal and development.

The first author, a student in a graduate children’s literature class, designed a project to locate “good” mathematics-based
children’s literature selections. However, the reference tools usually consulted (e.g., Books in Print) to locate books by topic were of little help, and those she located under individual mathematics topics were mostly traditional
mathematics books rather than good read-aloud selections. Consequently, she perused the university library’s sizeable juvenile
collection to find books that would meet her selection criteria. This article describes the influence of two landmark documents
for mathematics teaching and learning—Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], 1989) and Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000)—as she engaged in the process.

In this article, we describe the results of a study of chemistry high school teachers’ beliefs (N = 7) of the chemistry curriculum and their roles, their beliefs on the teacher as developer of materials, and their beliefs
about professional development. Teachers’ beliefs influence the implementation of a curriculum. We view the use of a new curriculum
as a learning process, which should start at teachers’ prior knowledge and beliefs. The results reveal that it is possible
to develop a new curriculum in which teachers’ beliefs are taken as a starting point. Promising approaches to prepare teachers
for a new curriculum is to let them (co)develop and use curriculum materials: It creates ownership, and strengthens and develops
teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).

This text gives a structured overview of some of the courses for action that the participants in the UNESCO IBE project worked
out together as a group over several months. We went beyond identifying the barriers and difficulties together with the good
practices being developed in the several countries and tried to define a broad outline for the type of school we wanted to
build. We thus needed to sketch out a roadmap for action that would guide us in our work and overcome the feeling of helplessness
that many of us shared. It is quite normal when writing about education to begin by saying “we must” or “we ought to”, without
making it clear on whom those positive changes in education, or rather, in schools in different countries and contexts, depended
in order for us to work towards accomplishing the goals of Education for All (EFA). Yet together we can, at different levels
of power and responsibility, build a school for all that brings together quality and equity. This roadmap is a tool to guide
our action, which in turn is itself enriched by our action, that of systematizing and analysing the progress made and the
difficulties encountered.

The learner experience of Curriculum 2000: implications for the reform of 14–19 education in England
In September 2000, new qualifications for 16–19 year olds, known as Curriculum 2000, were introduced in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland with the aim of broadening the advanced level curriculum. It was left to schools, colleges, and their learners, however, to decide how these new qualifications would be used to build learner programmes of study. In this voluntarist context, the views and actions of learners have been an important factor in determining the course of the reforms. This article, which is based primarily on a study of 42 learners in a school/college consortium in the south west of England, provides a chronological account of learner experiences of these reforms during their first 2 years of implementation. The consortium discussed here offered a high‐volume study programme similar in size and content to those being proposed by the Tomlinson Working Group on 14–19 curriculum and qualifications reform in England. Learners found their expanded programmes onerous, due in part to the nature of the new qualifications and in part to the context of their implementation. The article concludes by identifying a number of policy lessons for 14–19 reform arising from this research. 相似文献

Mathematics education is rarely out of the policy spotlight in England. Over the last 10 years, considerable attention has been given to improving 14–19 mathematics curriculum pathways. In this paper we consider some of the challenges of enacting curriculum change by drawing upon evidence from our evaluation of the Mathematics Pathways Project (MPP). From 2004 to 2010 this project, which was directed by England's Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, aimed to improve the engagement, attainment and participation rates of 14- to 19-year-old learners of mathematics. Our particular focus is upon the temporal problems of piloting new curriculum and assessment and we draw on Lemke's discussion of timescales, heterochrony and the adiabatic principle to consider the interlocking and interference of various change processes. 相似文献

This research examines students’ ability to integrate algebraic variables with arithmetic operations and symbols as a result
of the type of instruction they received, and places their work on scales that illustrate its location on the continuum from
arithmetic to algebraic reasoning. It presents data from pre and post instruction clinical interviews administered to a sample
of middle school students experiencing their first exposure to formal pre-algebra. Roughly half of the sample (n = 15) was taught with a standards-based curriculum emphasizing representation skills, while a comparable group (n = 12) of students received traditional instruction. Analysis of the pre and post interviews indicated that participants receiving
a standards-based curriculum demonstrated more frequent and sophisticated usage of variables when writing equations to model
word problems of varying complexity. This advantage was attenuated on problems that provided more representational support
in which a diagram with a variable was presented with the request that an expression be written to represent the perimeter
and area. Differences in strategies used by the two groups suggest that the traditional curriculum encouraged students to
continue using arithmetic conventions, such as focusing on finding specific values, when asked to model relations with algebraic
notation.

The National Council for Vocational Qualifications established assessment procedures for qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in which portfolios play a central role. The relevant qualifications (National Vocational Qualifications and General National Vocational Qualifications) have been taken by large numbers of young people in upper secondary schooling, and young people and adults in work or in government training schemes; and are intended to have labour market currency and to provide routes into further and higher education. The use of portfolios derives from a commitment to direct and comprehensive assessment of the whole ‘syllabus’, but also from a belief in certain pedagogical approaches and in enhancing students' independence and initiative. There is evidence that the approach has affected learning styles, but major problems have arisen relating to the manageability of the approach and the reliability of assessor judgements. 相似文献

Educational technology on a turning point: curriculum implementation in Flanders and challenges for schools 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ruben Vanderlinde Johan van Braak Ruben Hermans 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2009,57(4):573-584
In this essay, we state that establishing technology curricula by national governments causes a shift in the policy actions
of educational technology support: from a technical rationale with a main focus on funding and resources to a pedagogical
rationale with a main focus on student competencies. We illustrate our point of view by describing the formal educational
technology curriculum recently administered by the government in Flanders. This curriculum is written in terms of attainment
targets and has clear implications on the nature of educational technology which is no longer dependent on teachers’ individual
efforts or willingness, but is becoming compulsory at the school level. Furthermore, we present two levers that facilitate
the integration process of educational technology in general and the realization of technology curricula in particular. Technology
coordinators should act more as curriculum managers and change agents, and schools should jointly establish a technology policy
plan.

The UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE), through the Community of Practice (COP) in Curriculum Development, organized
eight Regional Preparatory Workshops on Inclusive Education in 2007. These workshops had the overall goal of initiating a
participatory, consultative process in order to highlight key issues and challenges regarding inclusive education, to be presented
at the 48th session of the International Conference of Education (ICE) 2008. Each preparatory regional workshop centred on
four sub-themes around which the IBE Council has proposed to articulate the 48th ICE: Approaches, Scope and Content; Public
Policies; Systems, Links and Transitions; Learners and Teachers. In the framework of conceptual dimensions of inclusive education,
and the sub-themes of ICE 2008, this article identifies trends across regions within the ICE sub-themes and highlights points
for future debate on inclusive education.

At a time when Britain's vocational education and training (VET) system and vocational qualifications are undergoing a major review and restructuring in response to critical reports about the model established under the former National Council for Vocational Qualifications, the British Council and associated agencies is currently trying to market National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) overseas. The chief weaknesses and failings of NVQs and the competence‐based education and training (CBET) system on which they are based are outlined in terms of assessment anomalies and the needs of firms, trainees and employers. Since these shortcomings are so so serious, it is suggested that‐‐until they have been remedied through the current reforms under the aegis of the new Qualifications and Curriculum Authority‐‐it is ethically unjustifiable to export a failed VET system to countries which may be unaware of the critical research surrounding NVQs and CBET. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe word ‘humanities’ does not appear in the current Northern Ireland Curriculum (NIC). Geography and history are taught within an Area of Learning called ‘The World Around Us’ which also contains science and technology. The curriculum has a strong emphasis on an integrated, ‘connected learning’ way of teaching and learning. Religious Education is a separate subject that stands alongside, rather than within, the NIC, and the curriculum also includes a new Area of Learning – ‘Personal Development and Mutual Understanding’. The distinctive content and modes of teaching which the humanities subjects tend to encourage ought to be seen as particularly important in Northern Ireland – a part of the UK which has endured a complicated past and remains to a large extent segregated, both socially and educationally. This complicated past means that there is often wariness and reluctance on the part of teachers towards tackling controversial personal and social issues in the primary school. 相似文献

This paper presents findings on a hybrid guidance curriculum in Hong Kong, a place where East meets West in education and
in many other spheres. A qualitative case study method is applied that uses questions for understanding the ‘self’ in guidance
but incorporates Confucian cardinal human relationships of parent–child, brother–sister, husband–wife, superior–subordinate,
teacher–pupil and friend–friend in understanding the ‘other’ relationships. The study of ‘self–other relationship’ is combined
with Lawton’s (Social change, educational theory and curriculum planning, Hodder, London, 1973) model of curriculum development in Western traditions. Data obtained from stakeholders in schools include traditional Chinese
ideas as well as modern Western ideas. Implications of this framework to the study of other societies with a mix of Western
and traditional cultures are discussed.
