Importance of The Curriculum Implementation Process

Curriculum implementation process
Curriculum implementation is delivering the courses of study, syllabuses, and subjects after the
programme were developed and piloted. The process involves helping the learner acquire
knowledge or experience. The stages of this model are:
1. Unrelated Concerns- no relationship between myself & the suggested change
2. Personal Concerns- How will this change affect me?
3. Task-Related Concerns- How do I implement it? How much time will it require? What
materials to use?
4. Impact-Related Concerns- How will it impact my students?
The team have chosen this model because it considers all the stakeholders involved in the
implementation process.
The CBA-Concerns-Based Adoption model is based on the belief that all change originates with
individuals. However, this model is only concern about how the teachers view the curriculum,
which is the reason why this model was not chosen.
The aim is for the teachers to view the curriculum as their own. In this model the teachers can be
creative and can modify curriculum where necessary, to suit their students.
Importance of the Curriculum Implementation Process
Curriculum Implementation entails putting into practice the officially prescribed courses of
study, outlined in the curriculum to help learners acquire knowledge, skills and experience. It is
the heart of any learning process, and the success of the curriculum can only be measured by the
extent of learning that the learners achieve. Therefore, a fit between the planned or written
curriculum and the characteristics of the learners will guarantee success in education. The
teacher’s role as an implementor is very crucial. In implementing the curriculum, the teacher
must take into consideration the fact that learners are different, and that there is no one optimal
strategy or learning method. Learning is supported by strong interaction between learner and the
curriculum, so changes must be made to meet the needs of the participants in the training
program. Successful implementation of any curriculum requires understanding, patience,
identification of roles and responsibilities between the teacher and his/her students.
Curriculum Implementation Process
The Curriculum Implementation Process is accomplished in four phases. These include:
1. Phase 1. Planning – which includes identification of needs of the students, needs
assessment and analysis, the identification of the techniques and tools aimed at achieving
learning, and how to use date and the results of information gathered to ensure that
learning takes place to meet the objectives of the written curriculum.
2. Phase 11. Contents and Methods – which concentrates primarily on the intended
outcomes as set out in the curriculum. For example, what learners will be able to do after
participating in curriculum activities. Focus on the content, meaning what is taught, and
the method, meaning how it is taught. The steps at this level include:
a) Stating the intended outcomes or objectives and selecting appropriate content which
will make an impact on the learner
b) Outlining scope and sequence which targets what is learnt first, second, etc., and how
much,
c) Giving consideration and having discussion around Design Experiential methods.
Learning activities and experiences are developed to help students achieve
appropriate outcomes.
Phase 111 – Implementation of Desired Curriculum – meaning that the curriculum contents,
materials, and/or methods may have to be tweaked, adjusted, revised or even changed to ensure
the type and delivery of training address the needs of the participant learners in order to enhance
their learning.
Phase 1V – Evaluating and Reporting - which is the last phase of curriculum implementation,
involves design of both formative and summative assessments, intended to keep the learner in
mind and involve them in the process. This helps to narrow the gaps between “known” and
“need to know” and provides a basis for defining and addressing learning issues.
In this phase, the final step - Reporting, suggestions for what and how to report to key
stakeholders, especially funding and policy decision-makers, are provided, and discussions
regarding securing resources are made for additional programs.
Key Factors that Influence the Curriculum Implementation Process /Plan
The Teacher takes the lead role in planning, designing, teaching, implementing, and evaluating
the curriculum. He/She has the most influence in the utilization of technology, selecting
teaching and learning materials, innovative classroom practices, time allocation for curriculum
topics and the integration of other subjects into the curriculum. Successful Curriculum
Implementation rests on his/her shoulders.
