Abstract
This chapter examines the dissemination and implementation of a new national curriculum (KBSR) in Malaysian primary schools. It describes and seeks to explain the nature and the effectiveness of inservice courses in the dissemination and implementation of the curriculum, and the factors influencing them; and the state of teachers’ professionalism in the implementation of the curriculum. It looks at the implications of such factors for the dissemination and implementation of KBSR and other future curriculum innovations in Malaysia or elsewhere.
