Abstract
Curriculum use is conceptualized as the interaction of three stakeholders - teachers, learners, and society - with curriculum materials. The article analyzes each stakeholder's mode/s of curriculum use based on relevant literature. Intensity of engagement from low to high with curriculum is conceived on a continuum. After presenting the uses of each stakeholder, we present an integrative, comprehensive model for analyzing curriculum use, accounting for the nature of users and intensity of engagement with curriculum materials. This model may be used in studies of curriculum implementation and in the process of introducing teachers to the curriculum domain.
