Curriculum Management, Challenges and Opportunities, Global EducationAbstract
Education has now spread globally along with the development of technology. The impact of this education has an influence on curriculum management in higher education. This is a major factor for the world of education so that it can develop the curriculum well and wisely. It also includes constant evolution in technology, social change, and the need for new skills, all of which influence curriculum development. The aim of this research is to analyze the challenges faced by curriculum development management, considering globalization factors, technology and variations in student needs. This research method involves in-depth literature study and analysis of empirical data from a number of educational institutions. The research results show that curriculum development management requires a more adaptive and inclusive approach, considering global skills needs, technology integration, and active participation of all education stakeholders. Opportunities were identified in the ability to increase global access to education through technology, integration of curricula relevant to future needs, and cross-border collaboration in developing holistic curricula. In conclusion, management of curriculum development in the era of global education requires continuous adaptation, based on in-depth analysis of student needs and changes in the global context. The challenge faced is ensuring relevance, agility and inclusivity in curriculum development, while taking advantage of technological opportunities and cross-border collaboration. The limitation of this research is that curriculum development management is only intended for the world of education. We hope that the research conducted by researchers can become a reference and consideration for researchers who wish to conduct research related to curriculum management in education.References
