The document discusses curriculum change and innovation. It defines curriculum change as making alterations to a curriculum's philosophy, aims, objectives, content, methods, or evaluation procedures. Curriculum innovation involves any planned or unplanned changes to a curriculum. There are several reasons for curriculum change, including restructuring according to learner and societal needs, introducing new teaching methods and content, and adjusting clinical instruction hours. The document also outlines different types of curriculum change, such as substitution, alteration, restructuring, and perturbations.

3. NEED FOR CURRICULUM CHANGE
• To restructure the curriculum according to the needs
of the learners society
• To eliminate unnecessary units , teaching methods
and contents
• To introduce latest and update method of teaching
and content , new knowledge and practices.
• To add or delete number of clinical hours of
instruction.
• There is too much emphasize on the subject matter.

4. • Michael Fullan (1989) identified four core changes in
educational context that shape the definition of curriculum
innovation. These core changes in school include:
1. Some forms of regrouping or new regrouping (structure).
2. New curriculum materials.
3. Changes in some aspects of teaching practices (new activities, skills
and behavior).
4. A change in beliefs or understanding via curriculum and learning.

5. Types of Curriculum Change according to Warder Bennis:
• Planned change - In this type of change, those who are involved have
equal power. It is clear what everyone needs to do. This is the preferred
type of change. People have a voice, they are in agreement, and everyone
is moving together.
• Coercion - This type of change has a serious imbalance of power. One
group determines the goals and has the power. All other groups are
excluded from the discussion and are expected to obey.
• Interaction change - This approach involves equal amounts of power
among all those who have an interest. The problem is communication and
execution. The process for implementation is not thought out and
developed. This leads to people who are willing but unsure of what to do.

6. Categories of Curriculum Change
1. Substitution - The current curriculum will be replaced or
substituted by a new one.
Ex. Changing an old book to entirely a new one, not merely a revision.
2. Alteration - Minor changes to the current or existing
curriculum.
Ex. Instead of using a graphing paper for mathematics, this can be altered
by using a graphing calculator
3. Restructuring - Its building a new structure that would mean
major change or modification in the school system, degree
program or educational system.
Ex. “ In-School Off-School”
4. Perturbations - These are the changes that are disruptive,
but teachers have to them within fairly short time.
Ex. The teacher or the principal has to shorten schedule to accommodate
unplanned extra curricular activities
