Teachers' Autonomy in a Centrally Developed and Controlled Curriculum: An Israeli View.

Tamir, Pinchas

Scottish Educational Review, v18 n2 p86-92 Nov 1986

Examines Israeli teacher autonomy in a centrally developed high school curriculum. Describes how teachers view this shift of control and the 50 percent assessment-by-teacher system. Concludes teacher autonomy is not necessarily dependent on the system being noncentralist and that guided freedom increases teacher power and potential effectiveness. (NEC)
