“…The curriculum is a total means of experience experienced by students through school guidance (Syomwene, Kitainge, & Mwaka, 2013). A curriculum is a basic element in the education system that includes the standards expected to be achieved (Akınoğlu, 2017). Based on these statements it can be concluded that the curriculum is the total means of all experience or educational program planned for students with school-made guidelines.…”

The purpose of this research is to develop an instrument to evaluate local curriculum developed by the local government. Local curriculum is to preserve the uniqueness or culture of the Region. With a well-run educational system, students as young people can develop local or regional uniqueness. Type of this research is a research and development consisting of four phases: 1) initial investigation phase, 2) design phase and 3) expert validation phase, and 4) trial phase. From the initial investigation obtained 3 components of the evaluation that is; 1) resources component; 2) process component; 3) output component. The design phase is done by studying the theory and developing the instrument in the form of the questionnaire as many as 60 items. Expert validation phase is done by 2 evaluation experts, 1 measurement expert, and 8 practitioners. The results were analyzed using Aiken's validity. The trial phase is done 2 times in small scale and large-scale trials. The small-scale trial was analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's Alpha reliability. The large-scale trial was analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis and construct reliability. From the results of validity and reliability obtained 50 items of the instrument is valid and feasible to be used to evaluate local curriculum developed by local government. The instrument is effective in evaluating the local curriculum

“…The spider-webs metaphor has been used by teachers, administrators, and researchers to explain the complexity and confusion that often characterize reform implementation (Akınoğlu, 2017;Priestley & Philippou, 2018). Priestley and Philippou (2018, p. 153) explained that "spider-webs in nature appear to have particular parts arranged in some recognizable patterns.…”

Emerging Trends in Metaphoric Images of Curriculum Reform Implementation in Schools: A Critical Literature Review

Curriculum reform is often difficult to conceive, disseminate, and implement, resulting in the use of metaphors to make sense of how changes initiated at national level are enacted in schools. This theoretical paper, which employs Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA), constructs an account of emerging trends in metaphoric language to unlock the complexity of reform implementation. A deductive critical review of literature was adopted as the qualitative design to glean insights into how metaphors have been used to shape mental images of curriculum reform across time and space. Findings indicated converging and diverging trends in metaphoric semantics. While some studies have equated curriculum change to a battlefield and a ghost of control, others have likened reform implementation to driving through the fog or wearing a donated gown of the wrong size. School reform has also been portrayed as a journey, a jigsaw puzzle, and a gardening project demanding meticulous planning and concentration. The unique contribution of this research is the clustering of reform metaphors into a three-tiered spectrum of pessimism, ambiguity, and optimism, thereby extending insights into the dynamics of curriculum enactment. Strategic implementation is recommended so that curriculum reform may be couched in metaphors of hope instead of anger and confusion.

“…On the other hand, the study about perception on specific pedagogic variables (such as these key phrases: "attitudes towards...", "conception of...", "opinion on...", "perception on....") have been concerned by previous researchers either through qualitative study (Akınoğlu, 2017;Almeida, 2012) or quantitative study (Ghanizadeh & Jahedizadeh, 2017;Polat, 2017, Suprapto, 2016bUzuntiryaki & Aydın, 2009). This study focused on other pedagogic variables, specifically on students' perception on learning by questioning (LBQ).…”

The aim of the study was describing the development and validation of students' perception on learning by questioning (LBQ) scale in physics. Research and Development (R & D) design was utilized in the research method. The number of senior high school students involved in the research were 224 students, composed of 95 boys (42.41%) and 129 girls (57.59%) from Indonesia. The instrument used for this study was the questionnaire of students' perception on LBQ. Analysis of data used SPSS 21 and AMOS 21, which consisted of identifying the factor structure through an exploratory factor analysis (EFA), estimating each dimension's internal consistency reliability coefficients, and cross-validating through a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The research obtained findings: (a) the construct validities and reliabilities of the students' perception on LBQ was varying from .577 and .901 with reliability Cronbach's α was .74 and the total variance explained was 57.99%, (b) the result of CFA determined the parameters such as RMSEA, GFI, AGFI, RMR, CFI, NFI, and IFI of the structural model of students' perception on LBQ, which may be considered an acceptable model.
