Abstract:

Recent research on mathematics reforms in the United States indicates that the reforms are not yet widely implemented. Generally, this claim results from looking at the extent to which teachers use curricular materials or engage in particular classroom practices. This article moves beyond disparate questions of use and practice to examine interactions between teachers and curricula as evidenced by their enactments of whole-number lessons from a Standards-based curriculum. Specifically, we analyze videorecorded 1st- and 2nd-grade classroom lessons in terms of students' opportunities to reason and communicate about mathematics. This analysis indicates that the level of fidelity to the written curriculum differs from the level of fidelity to the authors' intended curriculum during lesson enactments. Drawing on this analysis, this article explores how curricula support and hinder teachers as they engage students in opportunities to learn mathematics and how teachers' instructional moves and choices impact the enactment of curricula.

Abstract:

Objective. To describe a new national general pediatrics clerkship curriculum, the development process that built national support for its use, and current progress in implementing the curriculum in pediatric clerkships at US allopathic medical schools. Curriculum Development. A curriculum project team of pediatric clerkship directors and an advisory committee representing professional organizations invested in pediatric student education developed the format and content in collaboration with pediatric educators from the Council on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics (COMSEP) and the Ambulatory Pediatric Association (APA). An iterative process or review by clerkship directors, pediatric departmental chairs, and students finalized the content and built support for the final product. The national dissemination process resulted in consensus among pediatric educators that this curriculum should be used as the national curricular guideline for clerkships. Monitoring Implementation. Surveys were mailed to all pediatric clerkship directors before dissemination (November 1994), and in the first and third academic years after national dissemination (March 1996 and September 1997). The 3 surveys assessed schools' implementation of specific components of the curriculum. The final survey also assessed ways the curriculum was used and barriers to implementation. Outcomes. The final curriculum provided objectives and competencies for attitudes, skills, and 18 knowledge areas of general pediatrics. A total of 216 short clinical cases were also provided as an alternative learning method. An accompanying resource manual provided suggested strategies for implementation, teaching, and evaluation. A total of 103 schools responded to survey 1; 84 schools to survey 2; and 85 schools responded to survey 3 from the 125 medical schools surveyed. Before dissemination, 16% of schools were already using the clinical cases. In the 1995–1996 academic year, 70% of schools were using some or all of the curricular objectives/competencies, and 45% were using the clinical cases. Two years later, 90% of schools surveyed were using the curricular objectives, 88% were using the competencies, 66% were using the clinical cases. The extent of curriculum use also increased. Schools using 11 or more of the 18 curriculum's knowledge areas increased from 50% (1995–1996) to 73% (1996–1997). Conclusion. This new national general pediatric clerkship curriculum developed broad support during its development and has been implemented very rapidly nationwide. During this period the COMSEP and the APA have strongly supported its implementation with a variety of activities. This development and implementation process can be a model for other national curricula.

Abstract:

Recent research with Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) in education has shown that these platforms can be effective and engaging for students; however, educators and administrators have practical concerns about the adoption of MUVE-based curricula. This study looks at implementations of EcoMUVE, a MUVE-based curriculum designed to support middle school learning of ecosystem concepts and processes. Research questions looked at teacher perceptions of the curriculum’s implementation feasibility, alignment with curricular objectives and standards, and perceived value. Results showed that EcoMUVE was very well-received, and technical issues were manageable. Teachers felt the curriculum was effective, aligned well with standards, and compared favorably with a non-MUVE alternative. Particular technological and curriculum features that contributed to EcoMUVE’s perceived value included student-directed learning, an inquiry, role-based pedagogy, immersion in the virtual environment, and the ease of collecting and comparing data with graphs.

Abstract:

Many school systems are adopting new curricula in response to more rigorous standards that require higher-order thinking skills. This article presents implementation findings from a randomized, controlled trial of the Cognitive Tutor Geometry curriculum. We found a significant negative effect on student achievement despite the curriculum's focus on learner-centered learning strategies that have previously been found to improve students’ ability to meet high mathematics standards. Our research confirms prior research that finds learner-centered instructional practices are correlated with higher student achievement. However, our findings also suggest that learner-centered curricula can actually do more harm than good when implemented poorly. We found that the cognitive demands of the curriculum coupled with teachers’ poor implementation of learner-centered instructional practices seemed to limit students’ ability to engage with the mathematical ideas. Teachers struggled to implement the curriculum because they lacked prior experience with learner-centered teaching strategies, had limited exposure to the curriculum, and were not provided with job-embedded support from principals or instructional leaders within their school. They also worked with students who were reluctant to collaborate and had low prior math achievement. Findings from this study suggest that curriculum adopters should be careful to ensure strong implementation of cognitively demanding curricula. In particular, districts and school leaders should provide intensive job-embedded professional development and support to assist teachers in achieving high implementation.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives Nowadays universities face ever-increasing demands on quality of education, which is crucial from perspective of future graduates. In face of the need of constant quality improvements of medical curricula, it is important to seek strategies for their efficient management. The general trend is to develop electronic support tools to streamline the curricular design, analysis and harmonization. Methods Based on the requirements we have identified by the needs analysis among curriculum designers, teachers and managers at five universities involved in the Building Curriculum Infrastructure in Medical Education (BCIME) project, and evidence published in literature on curriculum development, we have developed methodological guidelines on curriculum innovations and a software-based tools that help manage, map and analyse curricula in the medical and healthcare study fields. Results In this paper, we share our experiences with building and implementation of EDUportfolio, an online platform developed within our consortium and intended to facilitate harmonisation and optimisation of medical outcome-based curricula. Its functionalities and outputs were verified by pilot mapping of Anatomy curricula as taught at partner universities in five European countries. Conclusions The visualisation and the analysis of described curriculum data using natural language processing techniques revealed both the hidden relations between curriculum building blocks and a set of overlaps and gaps in curricula. In addition, we demonstrate both the usability of the platform in the context of the involved academic environments and the capability to map and compare curricula across different institutions and different countries.

Abstract:

Using curriculum-specific tools for measuring fidelity of implementation is an essential yet often overlooked aspect of examining relationships among textbooks, teaching, and student learning. This “Brief Report” describes the variety of ways that curriculum implementation is measured and argues that there is an urgent need to develop curriculum-sensitive tools for analyzing classroom practice. The report outlines the use of the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) theory to develop analytical tools for measuring implementation of two middle-grades reform mathematics curricula: Connected Mathematics and MathThematics. The report also presents next steps in this program of research.

Abstract:

This study aims to determine how the curriculum's implementation is integrated through a unique class program in Madrasah Aliyah Waru Sidoarjo. This research includes qualitative research. The techniques used in data collection use observation methods, interviews and documentation. As for the data analysis techniques, the authors use qualitative descriptive analysis technique, which is the form of written and unwritten (oral) data from people and behaviours observed. In this case, the author seeks to describe Thoroughly the actual state. This research finds that the integrated curriculum at Madrasah Aliyah Fadlillah Waru Sidoarjo is a curriculum development that eliminates the boundaries between national subjects and TMI subjects. The development of this curriculum can be interpreted as an effort to stir two different curricula in one educational institution. To achieve the institution's goals, in addition to students mastering abilities in general (national) subjects, they can also master abilities in TMI subjects.

Abstract:

Chongraksat Wittaya School Pattani, Thailand, is one of the most prominent Islamic schools in Pattani, Southern Thailand. This school has a dualism of management, including the applied curriculum, namely the religious and academic curriculum. Although the Thai kingdom regulates these two curricula, schools can adapt to their needs for religious curricula. This article examines the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the curriculum at Chongraksat Wittaya School Pattani, Thailand. It uses a qualitative method and a phenomenological approach with data collecting from interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. Then, data analysis techniques consist of data reduction, model data, and conclusions. The results showed that the Chongraksat Wittaya school implemented an integrated curriculum, namely the religious curriculum (Sassanah), which contained Dirasah Islamiyah, and the academic curriculum (Saman) included general subject matter. This school has regular classes and special classes. Curriculum planning is carried out together with Village Experts at the beginning of each semester. The curriculum is implemented with 40% of the religious curriculum (Sassanah) and 60% of the academic curriculum (Saman). Evaluation is carried out by briefings, daily meetings, early semester meetings, and annual meetings. Student learning is in the form of numeric and descriptive. The evaluation of the model uses the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product) model.

Abstract: This research background is originated from increasing number of madrasah and general school curriculum as a curriculum support, especially on the subject of islamic religious education (PAI). It makes some institutions maintain either lodge, hostel, or boarding school, in order to encourage school programs. For instance, MAN Yogyakarta 1 established boarding school ‘Al Hakim’ to increase horizon of students towards scientific references to Islam. The question is, how do implementation of Kemenag curriculum and boarding school curriculm impact to elevate learning outcomes of PAI. This study attempts to determine for applicating two curriculum derived from kemenag and boarding school. This study utilizes qualitative research. The results show that in practice, kemenag curriculum remains a priority rather than boarding school curriculum; impact and achievement in the implementation of two curriculum have positive impact on learning outcomes such as to have better values on cognitive, affective, and psychomotor; excess two curricula are applied properly will create more students mastering the subject matter of religion. However, drawbacks occur discrepancy between the curriculum from kemenag and boarding school because the materials are not delivered properly and allocated short time.

Abstract:

Fidelity of implementation is an essential factor in realizing outcomes of evidence-based interventions. Yet perspectives vary on the degree to which fidelity is necessary or desirable, implementers may receive limited guidance on fidelity, and research on implementers’ understanding and operationalization of fidelity is lacking. We conducted key informant interviews with 20 individuals who implemented an evidence-based teen dating violence prevention curriculum in seven sites. Interviews addressed how implementers defined fidelity and the adaptations they made in implementing the curriculum. Although all implementers reported delivering the curriculum with fidelity, their definitions of fidelity varied. Most defined fidelity in terms of adherence to the published curriculum, although definitions sometimes allowed modifications of pedagogy or adding or subtracting materials. A smaller group of implementers defined fidelity in terms of their perceptions of the curriculum’s core messages. All implementers described variations from the published curriculum, which were frequently inconsistent with their own definitions of fidelity. Implementers committed to the value of implementation with fidelity may need support in its definition and application. Developers can support implementers by communicating program theory in terms that implementers will understand, clarifying expectations for fidelity and allowable adaptations, and codifying lessons learned from previous implementation.

Abstract:

This qualitative study on the Finnish basic education curriculum (2016) had two goals. First, to survey the origins of first two new curriculum competences: 1) thinking and learning to learn, and, 2) cultural competences. Second, to analyse the local curricular implementation and comprehension in a rapid socio-cultural change. To reveal the possible data trends, two research questions were addressed: 1. What was the background of first two 2016 transversal core competencies? 2. How were those competencies implemented into a local curriculum 2016-19? The Data included basic education curricula (1985-2016), and a local curriculum. Relevant legislation, official information (e.g. PISA), parental feedback, and a questionnaire to an anonymous implementing principal comprised the curricular data. The Data triangulation was completed with a wide range of educational, cultural and ideological research. Regarding ethics, the individual sources and educational provider remained anonymous. Findings were surprising. “Modern” thinking and learning skills were created in early 20th century American society by Deweyan comprehension. However, an immigration had changed the long-lasting interpretation on the origins of Finnish culture. Moreover, local curriculum implementation was more successfully comprehended and supported. Conclusions were obvious: more identifiable research and teachers’ training were needed for curricular reforms and competences. The socio-cultural comprehension in the era of AI asked for sound arguments.

Abstract:

Problem Health systems science (HSS) curricula in medical schools facilitate an understanding of social determinants of health (SDOH) and their impact on health outcomes. After implementation of an experiential, patient-centered program based around SDOH screening, however, our medical college noted poor student receptivity and engagement. In order to improve the program, we chose a design thinking approach based on the perceived value of actively engaging learners in the design of education. The role of design thinking in curricular quality improvement, however, remains unclear. Intervention We sought to determine if a current educational model for SDOH screening could be improved by reforming the curriculum using a design thinking workshop involving student and faculty stakeholders. Context The current study is a retrospective analysis of first-year medical student, end-of-year evaluations of the Clinical Experience (CE) program at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College before (2018-19) and after (2019-20) implementation of the design thinking workshop and subsequent curriculum changes. Impact Overall positive results significantly increased across all survey questions after the curricular intervention (p < 0.01), indicating increased student satisfaction with the revised curriculum. Lessons Learned Few studies assess outcomes of design thinking-driven curricular changes. The current study of an SDOH screening program details the implementation of initiatives that originated from a design thinking sprint and assesses program evaluations following these curricular changes. Most of the well-received curricular changes concerned improvements in student training, patient screening and follow-up, and the leveraging of existing technology. The study reinforces the importance of co-creation among stakeholders when redesigning medical curricula.

Abstract:

Background/Context As increasing attention is paid to preparing students to succeed in school, the development and adoption of research-based curricula have become progressively more important. However, many curricular designs lack a basis in scientific evidence; research and curricular design are frequently treated as two separate enterprises. Purpose/Objective In this paper, we present the Research on Curriculum Design (RCD) model, first advanced by Clements in 2007, with results from its application to the design and iterative development of pre-kindergarten mathematics and science curricula. Research Design RCD is an example of design-based research, with the additional specific goals of the production of an effective curriculum and the evolution of theoretical guidelines to inform future curricular designs. Our implementation spanned two years and involved iterative development and testing of two, year-long curricula. Findings/Results Application of RCD methods informed our understandings of the target population, the knowledge and skills to be developed, and the theoretical and research-based models that guided the designs. Subsequent iterative development and evaluation in five pre-K classrooms enabled refinement of the curricular design, as well as the evolution of design guidelines useful for informing future curriculum development efforts. A culminating test of the resulting curricula in eight pre-K classrooms suggests the success of the RCD approach, yielding high-quality, high-fidelity teacher implementation, with teacher fidelity and curricular dosage predicting students’ mathematics learning gains across the year. Conclusions/Recommendations Results support the value of the RCD model for achieving research-based curricula that have the potential to effectively support teachers in their practice and positively impact children's early learning.

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: Health advocacy has been declared an essential physician skill in numerous professional physician charters. However, there is limited literature on whether, and how, family medicine residencies teach this skill. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of a formal mandatory advocacy curriculum among US family medicine residencies, barriers to implementation, and what characteristics might predict its presence. Methods: Questions about residency advocacy curricula, residency characteristics, and program director (PD) attitudes toward family medicine and advocacy were included in the 2017 Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) survey of family medicine residency PDs. We used univariate and bivariate statistics to describe residency characteristics, PD attitudes, the presence of a formal advocacy curriculum, and the relationship between these. Results: Of 478 PDs, 261 (54.6%) responded to the survey and 236/261 (90.4%) completed the full advocacy module. Just over one-third (37.7%, (89/236)) of residencies reported the presence of a mandatory formal advocacy curriculum, of which 86.7% (78/89) focused on community advocacy. The most common barrier was curricular flexibility. Having an advocacy curriculum was positively associated with faculty experience and optimistic PD attitudes toward advocacy. Conclusions: In a national survey of family medicine PDs, only one-third of responding PDs reported a mandatory advocacy curriculum, most focusing on community advocacy. The largest barrier to implementation was curricular flexibility. More research is needed to explore the best strategies to implement these types of curricula and the long-term impacts of formal training.

This research is to obtain information about the implementation of the independent learning curriculum in elementary schools. The method used in this writing is to use a literature study by reviewing several journals that are relevant to the topics discussed qualitatively. The steps taken by the author to collect reading material in this article, are (1) collecting data relevant to the topic discussed (2) analyzing the reading material that has been obtained and concluding the main topics regarding the implementation of the merdekalearning curriculum in elementary school. The implementation of the independent learning curriculum is carried out with careful planning and is able to improve the quality of Indonesian education and can prepare graduates who excel and are able to compete globally. The key to success in implementing the merdeka learning curriculum is from school principals and teachers who must have the will to make changes. Implementation of the independent curriculum cannot be separated from the role of the school principal as a school leader who must be able to move, direct, and inspire teachers to want to change towards a better education. In addition, good cooperation is needed between teachers, school principals, agencies, parents and related parties so that the implementation of the independent curriculum in driving schools can be realized optimally.

Abstract:

The school-based curriculum is one of the crucial ways of Chinese traditional culture education. Therefore, it is essential to discuss the current elementary and middle school students’ satisfaction with the traditional cultural school-based curriculum. A survey of the curriculum satisfaction of 120 elementary and middle schools in China with a traditional cultural school-based curriculum found that students’ satisfaction with these curriculums is generally average. However, students believed that the quality of the curriculum is still low. Its main manifestations were passive satisfaction, compromise satisfaction, excellent satisfaction, fall satisfaction, and autonomous satisfaction. This highlighted the problems of some traditional cultural school-based curriculums like the positioning is based on subjective guesswork, the content has not been effectively screened, and the implementation method is a single indoctrination. Based on this, we suggest that: (i) create an all-round atmosphere for students to learn traditional culture actively; (ii) reshape the traditional culture in the curriculum according to the value of the times; (iii) guarantee the cultural resources and professional teachers of curriculum implementation with discipline construction, and (iv) focus on the experience of the implementation process.

Abstract:

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the development, implementation, and evaluation process of convergence curricular for pre-service teachers, and to analyze the instructors’ internal and external factors that influenced their practice of the curricula along with the related difficulties. Methods In this study, three cases of developing and implementing convergence curriculum for pre-service teachers were explored. First, individual interviews were conducted with the instructor in charge of each case, and various literature data were collected for a comprehensive understanding and explanation of each case. The collected data were analyzed in inductive methods and procedures focusing on the development-implementation- evaluation process and related factors of the convergence curriculum for pre-service teachers. Results The convergence curricula for pre-service teachers were practiced in various ways in the form of interdisciplinary content integration(webbed, integrated, shared), learner needs survey, evaluation method(criteria- based evaluation, relative evaluation, alleviated relative evaluation), collaboration between instructors, connection with various sites including school sites, and evaluation-and-feedback. Next, the instructors' perceptions of teacher education and convergence education, the form of subjects(liberal arts, major subjects), and human and material support emerged as factors influencing the practice of the convergence curriculum. Finally, communication and collaboration between instructors were identified as one of the biggest difficulties in the practice of convergence curriculum for pre-service teachers, which was closely related to the fragmented culture and system in the current teacher preparation programs. Conclusions For further development and implementation of convergence curriculum for pre-service teachers, first, in the development stage of the convergence curriculum, teacher educators need to select academic (curricular) integration models, and actively reflect the learner's needs in designing their instruction contents and methods. Second, it is necessary to expand the criteria-based evaluation system to facilitate the practice of the convergence curriculum (i.e., increasing the preference of pre-service teachers for convergence education subjects and the flexibility of teaching and learning). Third, in order to invigorate the convergence curriculum for pre-service teachers, it is necessary to promote cooperation between instructors from various academic backgrounds, expand opportunities to apply what they learned to the context of school and classroom, and provide opportunities to get involved in diverse field experiences.

Abstract:

The study aim to describe STEM-Robotic implementation as an intra-curricular in regular curriculum. STEM-Robotics is usually implemented as an extracurricular program in many schools. In the 2019/2020 school year, Edu Global Senior High School Bandung implemented STEM-Robotics as an intra-curricular for the ten-grade science program. STEM-Robotic implementation as an intra-curricular based on the challenges of 21st-century learning that lead to innovative creative learning and skills development. The method in this study is descriptive qualitative research method through the observations, questionnaires, and interview with teacher teams. The results of this study show that, 1) The implementation of STEM-Robotic as an intra-curricular has a curriculum that focuses about robots NXT and Arduino to provide the basics of engineering and technological skills in robotics and coding, while the concepts of science and mathematics have not been directly linked in STEM-Robotic, 2) The implementation of STEM-Robotic dominated by hands-on and mind-on activities in the learning process and its assessment. 3) Generally, students responded positively to the implementation of STEM-Robotics as an intra-curricular that makes learning more interesting, useful, fun, challenging, and develop engineering and technology skills. This result indicates that STEM-Robotic is an alternative subject or learning strategy in regular curriculum to accommodate science learning with educational robotics.

Abstract:

The curriculum implementation literature has recently focused more on identifying and measuring the key components of the innovative curriculum needed to achieve desired outcomes. However, most of this work centers on curriculum implementation external to the field of teacher education. In this article, we report on our identification of the educative components that form one component of the framework for conceptualizing the implementation of newly developed reading curricula for a Bachelor of Education Elementary program. The results suggest that prerequisite knowledge about reading instruction and knowledge of the entire reading program are necessary for an effective implementation of curriculum change in the discipline of reading.

Abstract:

The hidden curriculum is an important part of curriculums, and constructing the primary school English hidden curriculum is helpful for the implementation of the new National English Curriculums, the development of students’ key competencies and the reform of basic English teaching in China. However, according to the survey conducted with 40 primary school leaders, 60 primary school English teachers as well as 300 primary school students, the hidden curriculum is always ignored in primary school English teaching in China. Schools should meticulously design the educational environment on campus, highlighting the characteristics of English hidden curriculums, integrate English into the class culture, optimizing English educational environment. It is necessary to build a harmonious relationship between teachers and students, to enhance students’ motivation of learning English, to mobilize social and family participation, and to build multiple hidden curricular resources of English so as to promote the reform of English teaching and improve the quality of English teaching at primary schools in China.

Abstract:

Early Education is vital for the continuous learning of children. Preschool teachers play their role and are also responsible for implementing teaching and learning, using the National Preschool Curriculum and Assessment Standard Document (DSKP KSPK). However, there are constraints in the implementation of the DSKP KSPK. This article aims to present the challenges faced by pre-school teachers in teaching and learning in pre-schools. The challenges faced include external and internal factors. External aspects involve the nation’s policy and leadership, trust and societal culture and school administrators. Internal challenges include teachers’ readiness regarding knowledge in the area, level of understanding, skills and attitude. In conclusion, previous studies also present challenges that require continuous training to be given to teachers and administrators to strengthen early childhood education.

Abstract:

The implementation of the Tsanawiyah Islamic Boarding School Curriculum in improving quality at the Al Kautsar Al Akbar Islamic Boarding School in Medan aims to find out the structure of the Islamic boarding school curriculum and its implementation in the madrasa. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, which is to explore data related to the implementation of the pesantren curriculum in the learning process at Madrasah Tsanawiyah and describe the data according to the focus of the study to clarify the purpose of the research. The problem discussed in this paper is how the pesantren curriculum and its implementation in Madrasah Tsanawiyah Al Kautsar Al Akbar Medan Islamic School. The results found that structurally the Madrasah Tsanawiyah Al Kautsar Al Akbar Medan implemented two curricula, the pesantren education curriculum and the ministry of religion curriculum. The pesantren education curriculum is divided into two curricula. The first is not related to Arabic grammar such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and Morals, this is called the pesantren curriculum. Whereas subjects such as nahwu and sharaf are included in the Arabic curriculum. In implementing the pesantren education curriculum it is not much different from the curriculum of the Ministry of religion. Those who teach the pesantren education curriculum are competent teachers who have special qualifications in the field of religion and all the teachers are pesantren alumni. The method used in learning boarding school education material is to use bandongan and sorogan methods which are carried out classically. The evaluation method used is evaluation with written and practical examinations.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of applying sustainability to the engineering curriculum at a university in China. Design/methodology/approach A new curriculum, “ethics, involvement and sustainability,” was designed and presented to engineering students from an undergraduate major in quality management engineering. This curriculum incorporated knowledge acquisition and skills training into sustainability via various teaching approaches in a mandatory curriculum at Tongling University, China. Pre- and post-questionnaire surveys, as well as a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model, were adopted to evaluate the changes in knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of respondents before and after curriculum implementation. Findings Significant changes in knowledge and attitudes were observed following the implementation of the curriculum. In terms of the development of new behaviors, the changes tended to be moderate. Generally, respondents were satisfied with the effectiveness of the new interdisciplinary curriculum post-implementation. Practical implications Positive results were observed for the pilot and practice of the new engineering education (NEE) strategy at the cooperating university in China. Specifically, the integration of sustainability into curriculum design, implementation and evaluation inspired greater social responsibility in engineering students’ decision-making processes. Additionally, it shed light on how to integrate the concept of sustainability into curricula. One limitation of this study was the absence of a comparison group that did not experience the new curriculum. Originality/value Scant attention has been paid to local universities in the context of the newly-launched NEE strategy. This study provides new insight regarding the implementation of sustainability into engineering curricula and practice via formal, but diversified, teaching approaches.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to determine the integration of the K13 curriculum and the islamic boarding school curriculum and its implementation in Madrasah Tsanawiyah Tambak Sumur. This research uses qualitative research methods with observation data collection techniques, interviews, and documentation. While the data analysis technique used is descriptive data analysis techniques, namely written and unwritten data from the community and observable behavior. So that in this case, the author seeks to thoroughly describe the actual situation. Based on the research conducted, it was found that the integrated curriculum at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Fadllillah was a curriculum development that eliminated the boundaries between the K13 curriculum subjects and the islamic boarding school curriculum subjects (TMI). This curriculum development can be interpreted as an effort to combine two different curricula in one educational institution. In order to achieve the goals of educational institutions, in addition to students mastering abilities in the K13 curriculum subjects, they can also master skills in the islamic boarding school curriculum subjects (TMI). Therefore, to improve the quality for the better, researchers suggest that always make every effort to improve facilities and infrastructure to support the learning process. So that it can improve quality and achieve the expected learning objectives.

Abstract:

Since the publication of the NCTM Standards in 1989, which was followed by a new generation of curriculum development projects, the field has seen increasing interest in research on curriculum resources, how they are used by teachers and experienced by students, and the outcomes that they produce. Although some studies seek to draw direct lines between particular curriculum materials used and student outcomes, a majority of researchers argue that understanding whether and how teachers are implementing a given written curriculum resource1 with some measure of fidelity is necessary to determining its effects on learning (Stein, Remillard, & Smith, 2007). Over the last 2 decades, research has expanded to consider how teachers interpret, learn from, interact with, and generate curriculum resources. Over a similar timespan, the number and types of curriculum resources available to teachers have also expanded to include print, digital, and blended comprehensive curricula along with a slew of supplemental resources and tools available through the Internet.

Abstract:

A problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum was introduced at McMaster University more than three decades ago. Not many schools have adopted the system despite its distinct advantages. The present paper examines the challenges of teaching physiology in a PBL curriculum and gleans through the literature supporting PBL. It appears that one of the reasons why PBL is not becoming readily acceptable is the lack of concrete reports evaluating the curricular outcomes. The suggestion (R.E. Thomas. Med Educ. 31:320-329, 1997) to standardize and internationalize all components of validated PBL curricula is quite valid. A database needs to be generated that can be easily accessed by traditional institutions to see the rationality and easy implementation of the PBL curriculum.

Abstract:

The hidden curriculum comprises unspoken or implicit values, behaviors, procedures, and norms in an educational setting. This can be an alternative to empowering attitudes, values, and non-cognitive skills, for example, politeness, honesty, hard work, cooperation, and tolerance in students during the implementation of curriculum innovations.. An alignment between the intended/official curriculum innovation implementation and the implemented curriculum innovation encourages the positive manifestation of the hidden curriculum. Negative manifestation of the hidden curriculum due to misalignment between intended/official curriculum innovation implementation and the implemented curriculum innovation makes the envisaged change through curriculum innovation implementation elusive, like a mirage that can never be caught. This paper critically discusses how the hidden curriculum may promote or hinder successful curriculum innovation implementation. Implications of the hidden curriculum to curriculum innovation implementation are also discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective Abrupt changes in ophthalmology education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in novel online curriculum development. The aims of this study were to identify (1) the scope of online curricula implemented both prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) perception of educators on these online modalities; and (3) early lessons from online implementation that may guide future curricular planning. Methods Implementation of online curricula was evaluated by using a national online survey of Ophthalmology Directors of Medical Student Education (DMSE) via Qualtrics software. Participants Medical Student Educators of the Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology (AUPO) were surveyed. Results Fifty responses were collected, representing a 64.9% response rate. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 44% of institutions had no online components in their courses, but 78.3% of institutions reported increasing online components in response to the pandemic. Required courses were significantly associated both with having implemented online components before the pandemic and implementing online-only versions of these courses in response to the pandemic. The three most popular modalities used for online teaching were lectures, interactive cases, and problem-based learning, with a median satisfaction of 4.0, 4.32, and 4.35, (out of five) respectively. The least popular modalities used were online teaching of physical exam skills and telemedicine, both with a median satisfaction of 2.5. Median overall educator satisfaction with online teaching was four (out of five). The most common weakness related to online teaching was the lack of effective physical exam skills training. Conclusion Our data demonstrate that most institutions successfully shifted their ophthalmology curriculum to a virtual and online version in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. DMSEs adapted quickly, transitioning in-person clinical courses, and extracurricular activities to online formats. Overall, educator satisfaction with online curricula was high. Integration of online curricula provides the opportunity to enrich institutional curriculums and overcome limitations imposed by decreasing curriculum time. This study reveals an early window into the utilization, strengths, and weaknesses of online ophthalmology education, which can serve as a guiding point to enhance ophthalmology curriculum development.

Abstract:

This article reports the results of a study on the Teacher’s Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes towards the Implementation of Preschool Curriculum Innovations. The implementation of curricular innovations is a complex process. Studies on curricular changes have shown that teachers play a pivotal role in the success or the failure of implementation projects. The study focuses on teachers’ perceptions and attitudes toward the implementation of the newly introduced National Preschool Curriculum Standards (NPCS) in Malayisan preschools. The study uses the survey method involving preschool teachers set to explore the teachers’ level of knowledge about the curricular innovations, the teachers’ level of skill in implementing the curricular innovations, and the teachers attitudes towards the change. Data was gathered using questionnaires that captured teachers knowledge, skills and attitudes towards NPCS. Findings showed that teachers had high mean score on knowledge of NPCS and positive attitudes towards the curricular innovations. However the low to moderate mean score on teachers’ skills in implementing curricular changes indicate that they are notready and lack in proficiencies to implement the changes as required. The results suggest that teachers need professional development promoted by personal learning and understanding, support and guidance as well as planned intervention programs in order to equip them with the necessary skills to ensure the grounded change in curriculum can be successfully initiated and the NPCS is a reality.

Barriers to transfer students include lost credit caused by lack of curricular alignment across institutions of higher learning. This is particularly evident in series courses like introductory biology. We propose to streamline transfer issues using a shared set of course-level learning outcomes (CLOs) developed collaboratively by faculty across multiple institutions. Our biggest challenge was the development of CLOs aligned to Vision and Change and broad enough for large-scale implementation. We present the CLOs generated by the Northwest Biosciences Consortium faculty network along with data on faculty buy-in to using Vision and Change in their curriculum. Additionally, we found an increased familiarity with and use of Vision and Change in curriculum development over time. Finally, we provide information on implementation of CLOs and suggestions of methods for aligning curricula across networks.

Abstract:

This study investigates teachers’ understanding of the competency-based curriculum framework. In addition, it investigates teachers’ opinions on the promotion of civic education and social values through the curricular framework, and what impediments teachers face in implementing the curriculum on the civic education subject. A questionnaire, including structured and open-ended questions, was developed and distributed to 318 teachers. Findings of this study indicated that the majority of teachers understand the curricular framework including core and subject curricula, related to civic education and social values. In addition, findings indicate there are inadequate textbooks and insufficient professional development and training of teachers. Findings also indicate that inappropriate infrastructure and adequate equipment have a negative effect on the implementation of competency-based curricula. Recommendations highlight the need for a revision of textbooks based on the curricular framework provisions and additional training of teachers on implementing the competency-based curriculum. In addition, there is a need for providing adequate working conditions for teachers. Recommendation for future research is to include other factors such as students’ performance and outcomes of the educational process.

Abstract:

Objective The relevance of communication in medical education is continuously increasing. At the Medical Faculty of Hamburg, the communication curriculum was further developed and optimized during this project. This article aims to describe the stakeholders’ perceived challenges and supporting factors in the implementation and optimization processes. Methods The initial communication curriculum and its development after a one-year optimization process were assessed with a curricular mapping. A SWOT analysis and group discussions were carried out to provide information on the need for optimization and on challenges the different stakeholders faced. Results The curricular mapping showed that the communication curriculum is comprehensive, coherent, integrated and longitudinal. In both the implementation and the project-related optimization processes, support from the dean, cooperation among all stakeholders and structural prerequisites were deemed the most critical factors for successfully integrating communication content into the curriculum. Conclusion The initiative and support of all stakeholders, including the dean, teachers and students, were crucial for the project’s success. Practice implications Although the implementation of a communication curriculum is recommended for all medical faculties, their actual implementation processes may differ. In a “top-down” and “bottom-up” approach, all stakeholders should be continuously involved in the process to ensure successful integration.

Abstract:

Purpose: This study investigated the impact of teachers’ teaching experience on the implementation of English language curricula in public schools in the Aqaba Governorate, Jordan. Approach/Methodology/Design: The Rand Change Agent Theory of curriculum implementation guided this study. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The sample included 167 English language teachers who were selected purposively from 240 public school teachers in the Aqaba Governorate, Jordan. A questionnaire was developed as an instrument for data collection. It consisted of 36 items, and it was validated by presenting it to a group of arbitrators. The reliability was assured by carrying out a test-retest on a sample chosen from outside the sample of the study. Descriptive statistics were utilized to analyze data. Findings: The study findings indicated that there are statistically significant differences at (α≤0.05) between the implementation of English language curricula and the teacher’s teaching experience. This means that the teaching experience of the teacher affects the implementation of English language curricula. Practical Implications: The study presents certain implications for curriculum development policies.

Abstract:

The standard neurology clinical experience in medical school focuses primarily on bedside patient encounters; however, the limitations of the clinical environment due to the current COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated the need for virtual curriculum development. To provide guidance to Neurology clerkship directors during this unprecedented time, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Undergraduate Education Subcommittee (UES) formed a workgroup to develop an outline for a virtual curriculum, provide recommendations, and describe models of integrating virtual curricula into the neurology clerkship. In this overview, we discuss different methods of virtual instruction, hybrid models of clerkship training and the challenges to its implementation, professionalism issues, and modification of feedback and assessment techniques specific to the virtual learning environment. We also offer suggestions for implementation of a hybrid virtual curriculum into the neurology clerkship. The virtual curriculum is intended to supplement the core neurology in-person clinical experience and should not be used for shortening or replacing the required neurology clinical clerkship.
