Learner-centred curriculum reforms in ‘developing’ countries have a long classroom history of non-implementation. The need is to better understand teachers’ perspectives on such reforms. A Typology of Teacher Reactions to Curriculum Reforms provides a nuanced framework to interpret teachers’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviour. Divided into three domains and seven categories, the typology encompasses the Cognitive Domain (ranging from Lack of Awareness to Recognition to Understanding), the Affective Domain (Espoused Belief and Actual Belief), and the Behavioral Domain (Surface Practice and Deep Practice). The evidence from wide-ranging school effectiveness and classroom improvement literature reviews that illustrate the Typology is that, typically, interview and questionnaire studies find teachers in primary and secondary schools are aware of learner-centred curriculum policies mandated at higher levels, can articulate knowledge about them, and express positive attitudes.

Learner-centred curriculum reforms in ‘developing’ countries have a long classroom history of non-implementation. The need is to better understand teachers’ perspectives on such reforms. A Typology of Teacher Reactions to Curriculum Reforms provides a nuanced framework to interpret teachers’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviour. Divided into three domains and seven categories, the typology encompasses the Cognitive Domain (ranging from Lack of Awareness to Recognition to Understanding), the Affective Domain (Espoused Belief and Actual Belief), and the Behavioral Domain (Surface Practice and Deep Practice). The evidence from wide-ranging school effectiveness and classroom improvement literature reviews that illustrate the Typology is that, typically, interview and questionnaire studies find teachers in primary and secondary schools are aware of learner-centred curriculum policies mandated at higher levels, can articulate knowledge about them, and express positive attitudes.
