Abstract
This systematic literature review explores the transformative potential of teacher-led curriculum development in the realm of education. Drawing from a diverse array of research studies and scholarly perspectives, the review unveils four key themes that illuminate the pivotal role teachers play in shaping curricular landscapes. Firstly, the prevalence of teacher-led curriculum development underscores the widespread engagement of educators in tailoring curricula to meet the specific needs of their students. This trend signifies a paradigm shift toward more collaborative, inclusive, and student-centered curriculum development models. Secondly, teacher expertise emerges as a cornerstone theme, emphasizing the value of teachers' subject matter knowledge, pedagogical acumen, and insights into student needs in enhancing curricula. This recognition underscores the importance of nurturing and valuing teacher expertise in educational policy and practice. Thirdly, teacher-led curriculum development is revealed as a fertile ground for innovation, with educators serving as dynamic agents of change. Teachers, positioned at the intersection of theory and practice, seamlessly integrate innovative teaching strategies, technologies, and instructional approaches into curricula, ensuring their responsiveness to evolving educational trends and student requirements. Lastly, alignment with student needs emerges as a central goal, highlighting teachers' ability to customize curricula comprehensively to cater to diverse learning profiles. This alignment is recognized as a potent contributor to improved student learning outcomes. This study underscores that teacher-led curriculum development is not just an educational paradigm but a transformative force that empowers educators to create highly personalized, dynamic, and relevant learning experiences for students. The recognition of this approach's significance has far-reaching implications for educational policy, practice, and the continual pursuit of educational excellence.
