Summary
The Curriculum Navigator framework offers a novel approach to curriculum planning by analyzing attitudes across 10 dimensions. It aids in visualizing and directing curriculum development for better educational outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Curriculum Development and Educational Planning
- Instructional Design and Pedagogy
Background:
- Existing literature offers frameworks for curriculum development.
- A need exists to articulate preferred, often unconscious, approaches in curriculum planning.
Purpose of the Study:
- Introduce the novel Curriculum Navigator conceptual framework.
- Explore attitudes towards curriculum, rules, resources, reform flexibility, communication, and decision-making.
Main Methods:
- Integrates 13 new approaches with existing ones for a comprehensive framework.
- Provides a manual for using the inventory and integrating with other frameworks.
- Offers an original framework for planning and directing curriculum development.
Main Results:
- The Curriculum Navigator analyzes curriculum planning and design in 10 dimensions.
- Each dimension is a continuum between two distinct styles (e.g., lawyer/detective, bureaucratic/activist).
- Visualizes approaches to curriculum planning, design, management, and reform.
Conclusions:
- Presents a visual representation of curriculum processes within a specific school context.
- Facilitates a deeper understanding of the diverse approaches to curriculum development.
