Abstract | This study examined how teachers' curriculum knowledge grows through the process of curriculum analysis and identifies particular areas of growth derived from the experience. The research was conducted with eight individual teachers in Israel. Curriculum analysis is the critical and systematic examination of curriculum materials in order to identify their positive and negative characteristics, potential for teaching and learning, and hidden values and assumptions. Materials-in-use are analyzed to determine strengths or weaknesses to allow for modified implementation. The analysis is guided by an instrument or a scheme which includes questions or criteria to be considered throughout the examination. This instrument is called "SALTAL" and includes 33 prescriptive criteria which explicate the desirable characteristics of good curriculum materials and therefore are normative and judgmental. A description is given of the teachers who participated in the study, the SALTAL instrument, and the way the study was conducted. While substantial growth in curriculum knowledge in the eight teachers was observed, they had difficulty when analyzing familiar materials in detaching themselves from their implementation mode and regarding them objectively. The strengths and weaknesses of the SALTAL instrument are analyzed and recommendations are made for further research. (JD) |
