The document defines key terms related to curriculum implementation as a change process. It discusses curriculum implementation as putting the designed curriculum into practice through teacher-learner interactions to achieve learning outcomes. Implementing change requires a process that is developmental, participatory, and supportive. The teacher plays a key role in adjusting practices and curricula. Effective implementation requires time, effort, and resources to adjust habits and achieve goals of the new curriculum through ongoing collaboration.

1. IMPLEMENTING
THE DESIGNED
CURRICULUM
AS CHANGE

the leaners in the teacher-learning process with
the end in the view that learning occurred, and the
learning outcomes have been
achieved.

objectives is met with assessment
strategies, exercises, content, subject matter
analysis and interactive activities.

4. DEFINITION :
CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION
* Putting into practice the written curriculum
that has been designed in the syllabi, course of
study, curricular guide and subjects.
* It’s a process wherein the learners acquire
the planned or intended knowledge, skill and
attitudes that are aimed at enabling same
leaners to function effectively in the society

5. Ornstein and Hunkins (1998)
*As the interaction between the curriculum
that has been written and planned, and the
persons
(teachers) who are in charge to deliver it.
•Shift from what is the content to a new or
enhanced curriculum.
•Change in knowledge, actions, attitudes of the
person involved.
•Change in behavior using new strategies and
resources.
•Change which requires efforts hence goals should
be achievable.

6. Loucks and Lieberman (1983)
They defined it as the trying out of a new practice and what
it looks like when already used in
school system.
*In the classroom context
•Teaching
Concept of Change
*Change is a constant law of nature. It bring improvements.
Change is an ongoing process.
*Not all changes lead to improvement, but all improvement
requires change. The ability to develop, test and implement
changes is essential for any individual, group or
organization that wants to continuously improve.

7. Features of Change
*It’s a PROCESS not an EVENT
*It requires time, energy and resources
*It is achieved incrementally and entails
development in feelings and skills.
Process of Curriculum Change
*May be assisted by permissiveness and support in
accordance of with a helpful improvement in
curriculum. Changing curriculum changes
individuals.
*It must be necessary in consideration that the
resources of implementation of curriculum are
available or not.

8. McNeil in 1990 categorized curriculum
change as follows :
Substitution – The current curriculum will be
replaced or substituted by a new one.
Example: Changing an old book to entirely
new one.
Alteration – In alteration, there is a minor
change to the current or existing curriculum.
Example: Instead of using a graphing paper
for mathematics teaching, this can be
altered by using a graphing calculator.

9. Restructuring – Building a new structure would mean
major change or modification in
the school system, degree program or educational system.
Example: Using an integrated curriculum for the whole school
for K-12 requires the
primary and secondary levels to work as a team.
Perturbations – These are changes that are disruptive, but
teachers should adjust to
them within a fairly short time.
Example: If the principal changes the time schedule because
there is a need to catch up
with the national testing time, the teacher has to shorten
schedule to accommodate
unplanned extra-curricular activities.

10. Value Orientation - This
classification will respond to shift in the
emphasis that the
teacher provides which are not within
the mission or vision of the school or vise
versa.
Example: When new teachers who are
recruited in religious give emphasis on
academics
and forget the formation of values or
faith, they need a curriculum value
orientation.

11. IMPORTANT
ELEMENTS IN THE
PROCESS OF
CHANGE

12. Developmental
It should develop multiple
perspectives, increase
integration and make
learning autonomous, create
a climate openness and trust,
appreciate and affirm
strengths of
the teachers.

13. Participatory
For curriculum implementation
to succeed, it should be
participatory, especially
other stakeholders like peers,
school leaders, parents and
curriculum specialists are
necessary.
Participation builds a learning
community in which is very
necessary in curriculum
implementation.

14. Supportive
Material support like supplies, equipment,
conductive learning environment like
classrooms and laboratory should be made
available. For any innovation to be fully
implemented, period of three to five years
to institutionalize a curriculum is suggested.
Time is needed by the teachers to plan,
adapt, train or practice, provide the
necessary requirements
and get support. Support from peers,
principals, external stakeholders will add to
the success of
implementation.

15. GENERALIZATION
*The teacher is the key agent in the curriculum implementation process.
*Implementation requires adjusting personal habits, ways of behaving, program
emphases, learning spaces, and existing curricula and schedule.
* It also requires time, efforts, energy and resources in order to achieve the goals.
*On the other hand, curriculum need to change because our world is constantly
changing, and students need to be able to change with it.
* Having an updated curriculum seeks to achieve a good balance between academic
and technical and vocational
(practical) learning areas.
*Updated curriculum is paramount to success for everyone.
