curriculum. McNeil in 1990 categorized curriculum change as follows:

3. Perturbations – these are changes that are disruptive, but teachers have to adjust to them within a
fairly short time.

4. Restructuring – building a new structure would mean major change or modification in the school
system, degree program or educational system.

respond to shift in the emphasis that the teacher provides which are not within the mission or vision of
the school or vice versa

knowledge, actions and attitudes.
