Apa itu Analisis Kurikulum?
CURRICULUM ANALYSIS: unpacks a curriculum into its component parts (e.g. learning, teaching, knowledge, society, resources); evaluates how the parts fit together, say in terms of focus and coherence; checks underlying beliefs and assumptions; and seeks justification for curriculum choices and assumptions.
CURRICULUM ANALYSIS is NOT: student assessment, although student data could inform curriculum decisions; teacher appraisal, although teacher performance data could impact on curriculum decisions.
Mengapa perlu dilakukan Analisis Kurikulum?
Some of the reasons for doing curriculum analysis are:
- to make an assessment of the curriculum in order to improve it;
- to identify potential and actual problems as early as possible and recommend possible solutions (formative assessments);
- to make decisions about future support for continuation of the curriculum (summative);
- to see if the different parts hold together;
- to determine whether the goals have been met;
- to identify strengths and successes in order to build on them;
- to examine whether assumptions underlying the curriculum are valid and defensible;
- to identify blindspots, biases, perspectives;
- to demonstrate the worth of the curriculum to different stakeholders e.g. funders.
