Strategic Management for Developing a Mathematics Curriculum to Support Changes in the Artificial Intelligence Era

Abstract

This research aimed to propose strategic management for developing the mathematics curriculum to accommodate the changes of the Artificial Intelligence Era. It was a participatory research project using the community as a base. The researcher 1) designed the research by employing a mixed-methods approach with sequential phases, 2) utilized techniques for participatory planning processes, and 3) facilitated consensus-building. The research participants included school administrators, teachers, students, parents, community leaders, basic education school committees, and curriculum management committees. The study found that it was necessary to assess the situation, define the vision, mission, goals, strategic issues, project work plans, and develop strategic maps. These strategic maps were designed following the new public management approach in all four aspects under the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) theory in four dimensions: 1) the performance perspective, 2) the service quality perspective, 3) the operational efficiency perspective, and 4) the organizational development perspective. These four dimensions demonstrated the linkage to success, goal achievement, and the fulfillment of the vision for managing the mathematics curriculum learning area to accommodate the changes of the Artificial Intelligence Era.
