Abstract
This study aims to identify the influence of the dimensions of context, input, process and product in the implementation practices of Science lecturers in imparting PISMP Science Curriculum at Teacher Training College (TTC) Malaysia. The samples of the study consist of 105 Science lecturers who are currently serving and offering Science specialization at 20 TTCs all over Malaysia. Based on Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), it was found that the context dimension shows an influence on the product dimensions. Two elements in the context dimension which are the aim of the curriculum and the curriculum objective showed a significant contribution towards this dimension. Input dimension represented by the lesson content element; the pedagogical skills; the evaluation and assessment; and the selection and the usage of teaching and learning resources also showed a significant contribution on the product dimension.
