dc.description.abstract	South African physical science teachers are currently implementing the new FET curriculum. This paper reports on the views of 59 physical science teachers currently teaching Grade 10 and 11 learners. Data from questionnaires and focus group interviews showed that even though the teachers generally held positive views about the new FET physical science curriculum, they had concerns about the content overload, their capability of teaching, resources available and the level of support given as well as the quality of training. The perspectives of these teachers were used to determine the level of implementation of the new curriculum. Their views were compared with a theory of curriculum implementation with particular reference to developing countries.	en
