The Teacher As Curricularist: Presentation of Table
The role of the teacher in the school is very complex. Teachers do a series of
interrelated actions about curriculum, instruction, assessment, evaluation, teaching
and learning. A classroom teacher is involved with curriculum continuously all day.
But very seldom has a teacher been described as curricularist. (Bilbao, et. Al, 2014)
The curricularist teachers do initiates in order to improve the learning
process. They are the teachers who are exciting, facilitate students learning
effectively and always having a plan how to create a conjucive learning environment.
In order to identify if teachers are curricularist, the reseacher conducted a
survey with a twenty five (25) high school teachers as a respondents in different
schools that will correspond to their self-assessment.

monitored and assessed if their students are learning and they also modified their
activity to suit their learners in their classrooms.
Six teachers admit that they did not lead in the implementation of a new
curriculum in their school and seventen teachers answered yes, that they lead in the
