The Absent Curriculum in Finnish History Textbooks: The Case of Colonialism

This article examines the gaps in relation to the Sámi people and the colonization of Sápmi (Sámi homeland) in Finnish history textbooks. In the Finnish school system, there is very little knowledge about the Sámi and the colonization of Sápmi. The article uses the concept of the absent curriculum in order to highlight the gaps in history textbooks. The absent curriculum refers to topics and themes that could have, but have not, been included in the curriculum. Using discourse analysis, the article analyses two different time periods described in textbooks: the 19th and 20th centuries as well as prehistory. The results show that colonialist interventions in Sápmi are not conceptually tied to colonialism in the textbooks, even though some textbooks include descriptions of Finnish assimilationist acts in Sápmi. As regards to prehistory, the textbooks vary in their descriptions of the Sámi: some textbooks clearly define them as a distinct indigenous people, whereas others do not mention them at all. Finally, this article proposes some improvements that could enhance the inclusion of Sámi and colonization of Sápmi in history textbooks.

A Review and Outlook on the Ideological and Political Research Content of Tourism Major Courses in Secondary Vocational Schools

At present, the influence of ideological and political education in the socialist modernization construction is growing. With the development of the times, curriculum ideological and political education has emerged as a new curriculum concept and education concept. At present, the teaching activities of tourism majors in secondary vocational schools are mainly focused on cultivating professional skills to fully prepare students for future employment, but they ignore the psychological development and needs of students. In view of the current situation of tourism course teaching in secondary vocational schools, it is hoped that by integrating ideological and political courses into classroom teaching, it will have a subtle effect on cultivating students' ideological and political awareness, professionalism and professionalism, so that students will have the awareness to adapt to future development. and ability. Therefore, this study combed through the previous ideological and political research content of secondary vocational tourism major courses, tried to apply the ideological and political courses into actual teaching, and combined the characteristics of the course content to educate and guide students in all aspects. It is hoped that this research will promote the development of students' ideological and political literacy and make certain contributions to future ideological and political research on tourism major courses in secondary vocational schools.

Assessing biology teachers’ satisfaction with a shift from a thematic to conceptual curriculum approach: implications for science education reform

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the satisfaction of high school biology teachers within a context of educational reform in Croatia, which could serve as a representative model for broader science education reforms. The reform introduced a conceptual, student-centred approach replacing the previous thematic approach in biology education, aligning with the global trends in science education. Departing from the prescribed thematic content, this new approach emphasises the comprehension of biological concepts relevant to students’ daily lives and learning outcomes. The study aims to assess teachers’ overall satisfaction by (i) comparing the new curriculum’s conceptual emphasis with the earlier thematic approach and (ii) investigating teachers’ perceptions regarding increased content autonomy. Survey results highlight a preference for the former thematic approach, notably among experienced teachers, suggesting the necessity for curriculum reassessment and potential adjustments based on teacher input. Furthermore, the findings indicate a potential necessity for establishing a comprehensive support system to aid teachers in navigating the transition to the new conceptual approach, particularly within the broader context of science education reform.

Teachers' Reflective Practice in Implementing the Kurikulum Merdeka (Case Study at SMA Negeri 1 KURIPAN)

The independent curriculum is a new breakthrough from the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia that aims to empower education units and teachers in developing students' potential, including 21st century skills (Kemdikbud, 2021). So that we can also formulate the objectives in this study to determine the level of teacher understanding of the concepts and policies of the independent curriculum in their respective schools and the extent to which teachers apply reflection in evaluating planning, processes, and learning outcomes based on the independent curriculum. The benefits of this study, the researcher hopes to provide a comprehensive picture of the extent to which teachers have implemented reflection and a critical approach in implementing the independent curriculum and then identify the obstacles, constraints, and real needs of teachers related to reflective practice in the independent curriculum. The interview results indicate that there are still variations in the level of teachers' understanding of the Merdeka Curriculum concept. Teacher A explained that he had broadly understood that Merdeka Curriculum aims to empower teachers to develop students' potential through the application of 21st century skills and independence values. However, how to translate it into concrete learning activities is still confusing. Meanwhile, Teachers B and C even stated that the socialization provided had not provided adequate understanding, it was still theoretical and difficult to apply. Teachers' understanding of the concept of Merdeka Curriculum is still limited and partial. Most teachers only understand in outline, but have difficulty applying it concretely in learning.

‘Becoming a work of art’ revisited: Ecologies of collaboration in tertiary visual arts education1

Collaboration continues to be a growing focus of teaching, learning and research in university art departments. We are also witnessing a turn towards ecological and multispecies approaches in contemporary arts practice and education across the university sector and creative industries. In this revisitation of our earlier work, we ask how the transition into ecological understandings of collaboration might disrupt and reorientate humanist ontologies of visual arts education in the university. We draw on posthumanist and new materialist theories to reconceptualize collaboration in ways that are responsive to the ecological entanglements that comprise a work of art under current climatological and biodiversity crises. From there we develop a cartographic analysis of collaborative works of art in the making, drawing on a year-long participatory study with third-year undergraduate art students. In the final section we revisit our proposition for ‘becoming a work of art’ through more-than-human collaboration and explore the implications of this concept for speculative pedagogic practice and curriculum making in arts education.

Translating, transmitting and transforming Waldorf curricula: one hundred years after the first published curriculum in 1925

The first Waldorf School was founded in 1919 and the first curriculum was published in German in 1925. Since then, this curriculum has been translated into many other languages and transmitted across geographical space to other cultural contexts while maintaining the character of Steiner Waldorf education. For much of the past 100 years it has been a taken-for-granted source of inspiration for Waldorf teachers. However, Waldorf education faces a number of challenges to its curriculum. In many countries it is increasingly forced to explain and justify itself to the state and comply with educational policy requirements for standardisation and testing. It is challenged to adapt to the digital age and it faces calls to modify its original Western focus and become more attuned to local cultures, while retaining its universal humanist aspirations and its intrinsic character and function. Given that the curriculum is one of the best-known features of Waldorf education, it is surprising that there has been so little research on it. Drawing on the relevant literature, this review paper explores the fundamental concepts of curriculum within Waldorf education: its primary characteristics and functions. It tracks the historical development and the way the curriculum has been adapted both to requirements within schools and to external factors. Along the way there have been differing understandings of the status and function of the curriculum, including whether and in what sense it is universal and essentially unchangeable and/or how it can be adapted. This paper highlights a number of areas in which further research is needed and reports on important new developments, which promise to sustain the viability and relevance of the Waldorf curricula.

Conception and prospective multicentric validation of a Robotic Surgery Training Curriculum (RoSTraC) for surgical residents: from simulation via laboratory training to integration into the operation room

There is a lack of training curricula and educational concepts for robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). It remains unclear how surgical residents can be trained in this new technology and how robotics can be integrated into surgical residency training. The conception of a training curriculum for RAS addressing surgical residents resulted in a three-step training curriculum including multimodal learning contents: basics and simulation training of RAS (step 1), laboratory training on the institutional robotic system (step 2) and structured on-patient training in the operating room (step 3). For all three steps, learning content and video tutorials are provided via cloud-based access to allow self-contained training of the trainees. A prospective multicentric validation study was conducted including seven surgical residents. Transferability of acquired skills to a RAS procedure were analyzed using the GEARS score. All participants successfully completed RoSTraC within 1 year. Transferability of acquired RAS skills could be demonstrated using a RAS gastroenterostomy on a synthetic biological organ model. GEARS scores concerning this procedure improved significantly after completion of RoSTraC (17.1 (±5.8) vs. 23.1 (±4.9), p < 0.001). In step 3 of RoSTraC, all participants performed a median of 12 (range 5–21) RAS procedures on the console in the operation room. RoSTraC provides a highly standardized and comprehensive training curriculum for RAS for surgical residents. We could demonstrate that participating surgical residents acquired fundamental and advanced RAS skills. Finally, we could confirm that all surgical residents were successfully and safely embedded into the local RAS team.

Curricular innovation in the knowledge society

Introduction: the problematization of the phenomenon of curricular innovation has been approached by research in the international and local context and confronting positions have emerged around the curriculum; and in order to make effective the transformation in the educational field and in a peculiar way in the decisions of the Curriculum, it is necessary to assume policies of change in the educational management. The objective of this work focuses on the characterization, reflection and theoretical deepening of curricular innovation within the framework of the knowledge and information society.

Curriculum across the great divide: exploring a key problem of Australian tertiary education

ABSTRACT Tertiary education in Australia is dominated by a division between two large systems of provision: vocational education and training (VET) and higher education (HE). Over time, these tertiary education sectors have become distinct in several respects, including the way curriculum is conceived and practiced. In VET, competency-based training operates as a system-wide curriculum model. In HE, different professions and disciplines, in addition to university requirements, directly influence and shape curriculum design. The Australian competency-based model has been politicised over the last few decades, leading to fetishisation of the standards used to guide learning and teaching in VET and fostering distinct approaches to curriculum in the two systems. Schwab’s notion of curriculum commonplaces can be used to examine teaching and learning in VET to highlight ways in which an expanded concept of curriculum could lead to a renewal of VET and simultaneously promote generative articulation between the two tertiary systems.
