THE CASE OF THE TVEI

INDEPENDENCE OR ABSORPTION

INDEPENDENCE OR ABSORPTION?

POSITIVE ASPECT NEGATIVE ASPECTA successful strategy of independence required a novel and clearly understood curriculum that would be attractive to the potential clientele of the schools, but in fact these remained elusive. What the STSs demonstrated in practice was that although they were separate institutions, they were far from independent of the ideals and assumptions that were widely held about different kinds of curriculum.

They could not fullyeradicate the image of the educationally inferior junior technical schools of earlier.It is expensive to establish and maintain as separate institutions, were unable to gain widespread support.

THE CASE OF THE TVEI

POSITIVE ASPECTSto promote technical and vocational curricula within existing secondary schools.

The impact of curriculum reform on educational change at a systemic level, and its influence in improving, even galvanizing, the practices of particular schools.

NEGATIVE ASPECTSgrammar school curriculum continued to be dominant even within these changed organizational arrangements of schooling .

CTCS AND EDUCATIONAL CHANGE

POSITIVE

FEATURE

NEGATIVE

'to provide a broadly-based secondary education with a strong technologicalelement

They would only directly involve a very small proportion of secondary school and pupils.

The character of the particular schools in generating particular kinds of curriculum change seems an important variable.

TEACHERS AND CURRICULUM REFORM

The role of the schools has been important in helping to determine the impact of curriculum reforms.

In practice, however, it was soon found that the curriculum reforms of individual teachers and departments in particular schools would not by itself produce change throughout the education system.

The experiences of these differing strategies may suggest that the contradictionsinherent in curriculum reform, the inbuilt conservatism of the 'grammar ofschooling' and of inherited cultures, are too intractable to allow for radicaleducational change over the longer term.

“If you improve a teacher's self-esteem, confidence, communication skills or stress levels, you improve that teacher's overall effectiveness across the curriculum.” Elaine MacDonald
