From curricular reform towards productive culture of teaching and learning
Journal Title: Pedagogicka Orientace - Year 2013, Vol 23, Issue 5
Abstract
The paper presents an analytical study that is concluded with an intended agenda setting. The “issue” of Czech curricular reform is defined on the theoretical level and analysed on the empirical level; moreover, its relationship to the culture of teaching and learning is described. At first, the current Czech curricular reform is viewed from the perspective of a broader context of educational transformation; its focus and character are discussed. The timing of the reform is addressed, using the equalizer of governance, i.e. an analysis of broader mechanisms of functioning of and operating the educational system. Central to the paper is the author’s claim that the reform can hardly improve the quality of teaching and learning as its implementation resulted in unmanageable formalism. The author asserts that the quality can only be improved through sustained support of the productive culture of teaching and learning. To realise a change is thus to work on the new – productive – culture of teaching and learning. The study ends with an overview of arguments that confirm the need for an agenda setting that would aim at developing the curricular reform into a systematic approach to supporting schools and teachers’ professional development which would take into account the idea of productive culture of teaching and learning.
