EDUCATION REFORM AND TEACHER AGENCY
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2018, Vol 76, Issue 3
Abstract
The rapid change of technology, society, and economy creates pressure for education reform on a national level. In respond to the demand for quality improvement, educational organizations are engaging in educational innovation including curriculum, teacher competency, and effective teaching. Nevertheless, this top-down approach for change is likely to fail and lead to an unintended consequence if teachers are antithetical to the reform policy.
