Abstract
This study investigates the facilitating and hindering factors influencing curriculum implementation in the Philippines through a systematic literature review. The research synthesizes findings from diverse sources, employing a rigorous methodology to identify key themes that shape the educational landscape. Findings reveal that teacher professional development, particularly through initiatives like the Department of Education's In-Service Training, significantly enhances educators' adaptability to new curricular frameworks. Effective leadership, notably demonstrated by school administrators, emerges as a critical factor in creating an environment conducive to successful curriculum implementation. Leadership qualities, including a clear vision and collaborative skills, positively influence teacher practices and student outcomes. Resource constraints, such as financial limitations and inadequate infrastructure, pose significant challenges, particularly for schools in rural areas, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and equitable resource distribution. Policy inconsistencies and changes, exemplified by the introduction of the K-12 system, prove to be notable hindrances, highlighting the importance of stable policies and clear communication for effective implementation. The study contributes valuable insights to educational policymakers, administrators, and practitioners, emphasizing the need for a holistic and collaborative approach to address the multifaceted challenges and opportunities inherent in curriculum implementation within the dynamic educational landscape of the Philippines.
