Knowledge Use and the Dynamics of Managing Curriculum Change

Charles Sturt University, Australia

This article explores the relationships between knowledge use (KU) and curriculum change management. Managing or coping with curriculum change has been conceptualized as consisting of a technical dynamic, a political dynamic, and a cultural dynamic. A parallel line of thinking can be detected in the KU literature in that the functions which KU serves may be for instrumental, capacity-building, or enlightenment purposes. This study investigates the relation-ship between KU and change management with respect to these three dynamics. The political dynamics of the implementation process stand out as being a particularly important correlate of KU.
