Abstract
This paper examines a guideline for deliberation within the framework of a teachers' workshop for school-based adaptation of curriculum. Thi s framework allows teachers to participate in the curriculum developme nt process. The underlying assumption is that the appropriate way to c onduct workshop deliberation is to relate the teachers' thinking to th e curriculum process. The 'dilemma' is suggested as expressive of the state of teachers' thinking. A case study of a teachers' workshop is r eported and excerpts of the teachers' deliberations are analyzed.
