A Proposition Revisited:The Practical Destiny of National Curriculum——Take"The Status of the National Curriculum Bestowed by the Principal"As an Example
To study the national curriculum,we should not only study the National Curriculum itself(curriculum plan,curriculum standards,teaching materials,etc.),but also study the"practical destiny"of the National Curriculum,examine how the National Curriculum has been implemented in schools and how effective it has been,and discover what the reasons are if the implementation is not effective or even poor,and so on.The author put forward the proposition of"the practical destiny of curriculum"nearly 30 years ago(Its exact expression is"the practical destiny of the National Cur-riculum),and also carried on the preliminary discussion of the factors of both teachers and students that affect the fate of national curriculum practice.In this paper,the proposition is revisited,and the author holds that there are three internal factors that affect the practical destiny of National Curricu-lum,that is,the principal who is the subject of curriculum implementation,the teachers who are the subjects of curriculum teaching,and the students who are the main bodies of curriculum learning;their influences are reflected seperately in the principal's"status bestowing"on the National Curricu-lum,teachers'"content reorganization"of the National Curriculum,and students'"cultural reaction"to the National Curriculum.On the basis of the research conducted 30 years ago,this paper focuses on principals as subjects of curriculum implementation,and points out that the principals are actually"conferring"the actual status of the National Curriculum in the school's curriculum system,no matter it is in the sense of"positive"or in the sense of"negative".This is a basic knowledge that can not be ignored when we understand,examine and reflect on the implementation of the National Curriculum and even the National Curriculum itself.This means that it is not easy for the National Curriculum to survive and settle down in schools,for the status of the National Curriculum in schools is full of un-certainty,and so the National Curriculum itself needs to be implemented while reflecting.
