From the drawing board into schools: An analysis of the development and implementation of a new physics curriculum in New Zealand secondary schools
This thesis explored the introduction of a new physics curriculum in New Zealand secondary schools. It was part of a nationwide overhaul of the whole school curriculum from primary to secondary schools, initiated in the early 1990s. The study of curriculum change is inextricably woven with teacher …
