The Teacher's Contribution to Local Curriculum Management, (Paperback)

The author suggests an analysis of the Teacher's Contribution to the Management of the Local Curriculum for the Effectiveness of the Teaching-Learning Process. Theoretically, we support the perspective of the teacher as the main manager of the local curriculum. However, there is a weak contribution from teachers in the management of the local curriculum, because they don't know the criteria for its elaboration; moreover, the model designed for the local curriculum in basic education in Mozambique, from the philosophy on which it is based, to the criteria for its elaboration, implementation and evaluation, requires a teacher equipped with basic tools for scientific research methodology, in other words, the Basic Education Curriculum Plan designs this innovation of the new curriculum, however, it doesn't suggest the type, the profile, of the teacher who should carry it out; in relation to community participation or involvement, it appears that this is essentially limited to the school's administrative and patrimonial component and much less so in aspects linked to the pedagogical area and more specifically in the development of the local curriculum.
