Administrative Structure and Processes in Curriculum Development

Abstract

THEORIES AND concepts of curriculums come into operational being, are nurtured and, hopefully, improved through administrative processes and structures. This chapter reviews the literature of the last three years bearing on the relation between these administrative structures and their processes, and the curriculum. It is organized into four major categories: (a) supervisory and administrative roles, (b) patterns of inservice education, (c) physical facilities and instructional materials, and (d) school structure and organization.
