Description
Summary:This study was conducted in an attempt to provide a description in relation to the strategies of teaching which is conducted while running Cambridge IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) curriculum. The investigation was carried out in one international school which applies Cambridge curriculum located in Tangerang. This study involved physics teacher at IGCSE level who are teaching Cambridge IGCSE syllabus, as a source of information research. Case study as one of qualitative method is undertaken in order to examine and describe the issues concerning whether the teaching strategies used by teacher who is teaching the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus in latent heat topic reflect efforts in achieving compliance of the goals contained in the curriculum. In an effort to get the picture, all the five instruments constructed were deployed as a tool in capturing the data needed to answer those four research questions. The research findings shows that in practice, although Cambridge has set a goal topic that is written in a syllabus, but it is allowable for teacher to develop the objectives of lesson which still refers to the objectives written in the syllabus. Direct instructions and hands-on activities which were used in the classroom as teaching strategies reflect efforts in achieving compliance of the goals contained in the curriculum. It can be seen by the simple demonstration shown at the beginning of lesson to equip students to acquire skills and competencies which are emphasized in the curriculum. Keywords: Curriculum Implementation, Cambridge IGCSE, Teaching Strategies.
