|---|---|---|
In this work-in-progress paper, we present a framework for developing an individual's capacity to engage in curricular culture change. It is part of a larger project that looks at curricular change through a cultural lens by analyzing cross-institutional curricular collaborations. An individual's capacity depends on three aspects: transferability (the presence of a testable hypothesis for transferring a curricular element across cultures), openness (the willingness and ability to personally pay the "cost" of running that experiment), and literacy (the ability to make sense of one or both curricular cultures involved). These three aspects combine into eight possible states, and individuals in each state demonstrate different responses to opportunities for curricular culture change. Developing this framework gives us a way to think about potential interventions that can help individuals increase their capacity for this sort of change work. |
