How teachers build a curriculum for their classrooms and how LCT might help
Robbie Campbell
Educators do not simply enact a state or national curriculum in their teaching.
First, they recontextualise ideas to create a curriculum which can be used in
the classroom. Yet, how this happens is relatively under-researched and
under-theorised. Despite its complexity, many educators are never taught about
developing a classroom curriculum, and lack a shared language for describing
the organising principles of curriculum development. In this Roundtable, based
on my ongoing PhD study, I will shine a light on the professional knowledge
base required for developing a classroom curriculum. Specifically, I will
explore how teachers develop a science curriculum in secondary school and
suggest that their design practices can be understood using concepts from
Specialisation and Semantics. I shall illustrate how the design practices of
science teachers are characterised by knowledge codes and involve weaves
together different forms of knowledge. I will then dig deeper by using the
‘epistemic plane’ to examine the ontic relations (what) and discursive
relations (how) of designing practical work, which is a key component of
science education. I will suggest that a pedagogic form of LCT concepts would
be valuable to educators so that they can develop the classroom curriculum more
mindfully and with mastery.
