Overview

This book provides an in-depth exploration of curriculum research within the dynamic context of national curriculum reform. Structured into four core sections-Curriculum Design and Decision-Making, Translating Competency Goals into Curriculum, Curriculum Implementation and Monitoring, and Teachers and the Curriculum-it examines critical issues such as the processes behind national policy formulation and the characteristics of large-scale curriculum design. Moving beyond a single national perspective, the work adopts a comparative lens, analyzing the global convergence in redefining the role of national curricula, from decentralized systems adopting central standards to centralized ones granting more local flexibility. It delves into curriculum policy as a form of public policy, concerned with the authoritative allocation of social values. Through theoretical analysis and empirical case studies, this volume is an essential resource for understanding how curricula are developed, enacted, and evaluated in response to contemporary educational challenges.
