Abstract
Curriculum development is a complex process that requires the coordinated participation of various stakeholders both inside and outside of the school. Based on this reality, Kettunen (2015) proposes a stakeholder map for curriculum development, distinguishing between internal and external stakeholders. Drawing on local and international research regarding stakeholder involvement in curriculum development in general, as well as the practice of developing the General Education Curriculum for Language Arts and Literature from 2022 to 2025 (corresponding to the three school years of implementing the 2018 General Curriculum: 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025) in Vietnam, this article analyzes the extent of stakeholder participation in the curriculum development process, specially focus on the Needs Analysis phase within the ADDIE model. Therefore, this article provides several recommendations for effectively mobilizing stakeholder participation in the development of the General Education Curriculum for Language Arts and Literature at the upper secondary school level in the future.
