• W7769751 abstract "The introduction of the Common Core Curriculum in the United States has some worried that the country will have a national curriculum and remove control of education from the states. In Kenya, a nation that has utilized a national curriculum since colonial times, the author studied the factors that affected the learning experiences of students. The results indicated that a common curriculum does not necessarily mean students receive the same education. Both external and internal factors contribute to curriculum enactment, but the internal factors carry most of the impact in the classroom. The author explains the findings in Kenya and suggests their applicability in understanding the implementation of a common core curriculum in any setting.The introduction of the Common Core Curriculum in the United States has some worried that the country will have a national curriculum and remove control of education from the states. The Common Core Curriculum (CCC) is a state-led effort that was coordinated by the National Governors Association center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers (Common Core State Standards Initiative, 2012). The CCC was developed collaboratively with teachers, school administrators, and experts in order to provide a consistent framework for preparing students for further studies and the workplace. The CCC assists students and families with a concise set of goals that remain standard from state to state, thereby enhancing the learning experiences of all students. Although many nations worldwide have a national curriculum, this approach does not guarantee common educational experiences for all children. Teachers still determine what types of learning opportunities students experience in the classroom. Therefore, a study of teacher perceptions of the curriculum and their students provided helpful insight into curriculum enactment.In Kenya, a national curriculum has been in place since colonial times, when highschool students sat for the Cambridge Exams. The national curriculum today is proposed by the Ministry of Education and consists of detailed guidelines, syllabi, schemes of work (a year-long plan), and a comprehensive national exam. A common curriculum has some advantages. The national content is laid out so that all students have access to the same knowledge. Students gain advantages on national exams because the national curriculum is the basis for the Kenyan national exams in Standard 8 (8th grade) and Form IV ( 12th grade). In one respect, a common curriculum levels the playing field for all students regardless of where they live in the country and may offer the same advantage in the United States.However, a common curriculum does not necessarily guarantee an equal education. Each school enacts the curriculum according to the resources available, the teachers' training, and teacher beliefs and decision-making. Another issue that comes into the situation in Kenya is the idea that the comprehensive national exams are the final determining factor for moving into the next level of learning. Candidates compete for opportunities to further their education through successful attempts in these exams. Furthermore, the pressure to perform well on exams is not limited to primary and secondary education. Students in preschools and kindergartens also compete to enter into the most prestigious elementary schools (Bennaars, 1998). Kenya practices an open- enrollment plan related to schooling in which candidates may apply for admission to any school if they meet the admission criteria. Students are not assigned to particular schools based on where they live. Students can apply to several types of schools: (a) government-run schools that often have welltrained teachers and adequate resources; (b) private schools, which could be mission schools that open most often in areas of poverty or where schools are rare or could be for-profit elite schools that offer many amenities; and (c) community or harambee schools, where parents and community leaders band together to provide a school for the children in the community. …" @default.
