Teacher Preparedness and Curriculum Compliance in Higher Education: An Analysis of Teachers’ Understanding and Practical Implementation
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2025, Vol 30, Issue 7
Abstract
This study investigates the readiness of teachers and their adherence to curriculum standards in higher education, focusing on their understanding and practical application of the curriculum. Using a quantitative research design, a descriptive survey was conducted with 132 teachers in higher education, selected through stratified sampling. This study employed self-constructed questionnaire. The questionnaire was reviewed by three expert evaluators for content validity and cultural fit, and adjustments were made based on their feedback. Data were collected using Google Forms, and descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were applied for analysis. Results revealed that teachers demonstrate strong alignment with curriculum standards but show lower performance in staying updated and articulating curriculum goals. This suggests that while teachers are well-prepared, continuous professional development and improved communication are necessary to address these gaps. The study highlights the importance of teacher competence in achieving curriculum compliance and improving student outcomes. To enhance curriculum implementation, it is recommended that educational leaders prioritize ongoing training programs, encourage collaboration among teachers, and provide resources to diversify instructional materials. These measures will improve teachers' ability to meet curriculum standards, ultimately benefiting student learning.
