The active construction of curricula: Primary teachers' perspectives

Authors

Interviews with primary teachers revealed questions of control of operational curricula. Schools hold significant power over curricula through their organisation, planning, and assessment requirements which sometimes have little educational purpose or benefit. Implications for schools and for teacher agency are discussed.
