The curriculum is said to be successful if the trip went smoothly, and can be said to be in accordance with the plan. However, the curriculum is said to fail when encountering many obstacles along the way that makes the pace of the curriculum itself becomes obstructed. There are at least 4 times a change of curriculum in Indonesia, that began 94 years, from 1994 to the enactment of curriculum, until now is curriculum 2013. I chose this topic, because of the many debates every time to discuss curriculum that affect the level or quality of education itself. Basically, the quality of education itself is not only influenced by the course curriculum, but the way teachers teach and also the effectiveness of the learning process also greatly affect the quality of education. That which will be discussed later in this article, so it is not just the curriculum that will be discussed in this article, but the effectiveness, a great system in education, and also a good way of how the education will also be discussed in this article. 2.

...Structure & Development of the New South Wales (NSW) Primary Curriculum The New South Wales Primary Curriculum provides the framework for the outcomes based education currently in use in all Public schools in New South Wales. This essay will present a brief overview of the structure, definition, goals, influences, processes and show how it meets the needs of current and future learners. Drawing from various sources, an examination of the curriculums content and foundation, will provide a snapshot of where the educational direction is headed. Curriculum Structure and Development In 2004 the Board of Studies NSW developed the consultation paper, Defining Mandatory Outcomes in the K–6 Curriculum, which also involved surveys, submissions and state-wide consultation meetings with teachers across NSW. This process helped to bring about the current NSW Primary Curriculum Foundations Statements. Collaborating with teachers and educational professionals the statements developed by the board of studies NSW give clear direction of what must be taught through each of the stages of learning in the K-6 curriculum (The Board of Studies NSW, 2007). The NSW Primary Curriculum is structured into six key learning areas (KLA’s), English; Mathematics; Science and Technology; Human Society and its Environment; Creative Arts; and Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE). The KLA’s, along with the syllabus, remain at the core of planning and programming, and are broken...

...CURRICULUM Introduction As part of transforming South Africa, the educational landscape has undergone dramatic changes where ultimately teachers have to decide to either implement a curriculum as mandated or to adapt the curriculum to take into account their particular context. Teacher’s in South Africa battle on a daily basis with the effects of teaching large number of learners in an under-resourced context. Teachers are expected to adapt to those changes and such changes impact heavily on the roles of teachers in the classroom. They must find a way to facilitate teaching, learning and assessment despite difficult conditions. The gap between curriculum as intention and curriculum as reality confronts teachers regularly. The aim of this essay will address the narrow and broad definitions of the concept curriculum, as well as the official, explicit, implicit, covert and hidden curriculum as they are viewed by different authors. Defining Curriculum Two views on curriculum: Narrow and Broad Many educationists argue that awareness of different interpretations is important in developing a Good understanding of what curriculum is (Booyse & Du plesis, 2014: 4). However they make a point that different approaches, either as a blue print or adaption approach, may be appropriate for different situations. Take a closer look at the various interpretations: Eisner (1985) defines curriculum as a series of planned events that are intended to have educational consequences...

...Teacher Education in Tanzania: The Experience of Pre-Service and In-service Teacher Preparation for Quality Education By: Albert Lawrence Lukanga, Abstract This paper presents in brief the conditions prevailing in teacher education in the process of preparing Pre-service and In-service teachers in Tanzania. It starts by conceptualizing teacher education. The conditions and the process of preparing teachers at Pre-service and in service levels is at the heart of the discussion in which several issues are exposed including the issue of content and methodology used by teacher educators. A theory in practice in education, and in teacher education in particular is discussed as one of the influencing factors for realization of quality education. Thus, learner-centered approach and competency based teaching and learning have been given its weight. Moreover, the challenges towards provision of quality teacher education and the possible solutions have been highlighted. It is concluded that to ensure that the process of preparing these teachers goes smoothly and ultimately results in quality education, the environment that suits the application of these current theories must be improved Conceptualizing Teacher Education Teacher education is perceived as service activity for the education system. It is a process through which prospective and in-service teachers are enabled to acquire knowledge, attitudes, behaviours, and skills they require to perform their teaching...

...Module 7: Curriculum IMPLEMENTATON “Homework Must Be More Fun and Meaningful’ In Module 5 we discussed what was involved in curriculum planning and in Module 6 we looked at different techniques of designing the curriculum focusing on some curriculum design models. The next stage in the curriculum development process according to Tyler, Taba and Alexander & Saylor is the implementation of the curriculum plan. The final destination of any curriculum (whether it be a school, college, university or training organisation) is the classroom involving students, teachers, administrators and the community. Implementing the curriculum is the most crucial and sometimes the most difficult phase of the curriculum development process. Those responsible for implementing a curriculum often hear comments and concerns such as: o Teachers are already overloaded – how are they going to implement the new ideas. o Parents and education officers are only interested in a high pass rate in examinations – how are schools to incorporate suggested changes. These are real concerns and made worse when persons implementing the curriculum are not clear what is expected of them. How often have we heard people say, ‘the plan was good but implementation was poor’. On the other hand, if a curriculum plan is not implemented and remains on the shelf then all efforts in planning will be a sheer waste. A curriculum must be delivered...

...The World Economic Forum ranked South Africa’s quality of education 140th out of 144 which is lower than Lesotho and Swaziland. This causes us to think whether the state has or has not failed to provide quality education for its citizens. After the apartheid era South Africa had become a democracy. With the start of this democracy and the new Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996 there had been a transformation in South Africa’s education system. A transformation in the system was exactly what South Africa needed because of the previously destructive policies, legislation and practices implemented under the apartheid era which segregated black students and other races apart from whites. This caused blacks and other minority races to be disadvantaged because the whites were seen as the superior race which meant that the blacks and other racial minorities suffered severe educational,social and economic disadvantage. However the Constitution of 1996 and a COMPREHENSIVE number of education laws that have been applied have been transforming the South African educational system at all levels. Another example is the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996 which provides for a uniform system for the organisation, governance and funding for all schools in the country. The purpose of the Act is to provide high quality of education aswell as addressing past injustices. The government’s plan for educational reform is also included in this act. The Act provides for the following:...

...Education Today’s health care environment is undergoing significant changes due to complex patient’s needs, chronic health conditions, and technological innovations. Educating nurses within the 21st century requires a creative integration of knowledge, skill set, and caring within an increasingly complex healthcare system (Institute of Medicine [IOM], 2010). Nursing education is heavily laden with continuous content increases to be covered within the curriculum (Devereaux-Melillo, Dowling, Abdallah, Findeisen, & Knight, 2013). The need to examine curricular transformation is imperative in order to manage content saturation, and abate the separation of the classroom and clinical teaching. This paper will outline the following processes: (a) the development of a concept-based curricular plan for a baccalaureate program, (b) the impact of a concept-cased curriculum (CBC) on the faculty, students, finances, community of interests, accreditation, and (c) examples of the integration of competencies. Development of Concept-Based Curricular Plan Nursing faculty are challenged with curriculum, for they are presenting an astronomical amount of material to “cover the content”. According to Duncan and Schulz (2015) nurses practice conceptually on a daily basis by focusing on the patient needs, regardless of the medical diagnoses assigned. In order to practice conceptually, nurses must think conceptually by grouping important facts into concepts that can then be transferred from one...

...infections or surgical wound infections (Duncan & Mayo, 2004). The OR is a fast paced nursing specialty requiring expert training and mentorship for perspective candidates. According to Burnette (2007), nursing students felt like they were not adequately trained for the complexity of the OR during nursing school. As an effort to combat this, The Methodist Hospital began the Methodist Advancement into Professional Practice Program (MAPP). MAPP students are senior professional nursing school students with an interest of pursuing a career as an OR nurse. The internship is an aggressive two month program focusing on the skills required to function as a highly trained OR nurse. In an effort to uphold recommended standards and practices, the core curriculum is based on the fundamental elements of the Association of PeriOperative Nurses (AORN). During the first two weeks students began their training in a classroom setting where were introduced to the basic concepts of the OR. The next six weeks students will be engage in simulations labs of what was taught in the classroom setting. They will demonstrate mastery through return demonstration prior to orienting through the OR suites. Once on the unit, MAPP students are assigned a preceptor for the remainder of their training and are allowed to function independently through direct supervision by their preceptor.
