Abstract

This chapter describes the Finnish national core curriculum reform process, its values, and how the role of technology in teaching and learning will be emphasized in it. Approximately every decade a novel national core curriculum for basic education is designed under the direction of the Finnish National Board of Education (FNBE). This design process is taking place at the same time as the writing of this book chapter. In comparison to many other countries, Finland has a very open and collaborative system for designing new curricula. A broad range of experts from different fields have been invited to join the process. Local authorities are given substantial flexibility and a great deal of freedom in Finland. The conceptualization and creative design process of the local curricula follows the national process. Moreover, the schools themselves are responsible for creating and carrying out the execution of the new curriculum. The new curriculum will emphasize 21st-century skills and cover a wide range of expertise.
