The purposes of this study are examining; 1) the characteristics of the SBCD by considering the dynamism of curriculum development, and 2) the method for curriculum development in school level. The method includes means for achieving the purpose of a curriculum development, and process and skill for implementing the curriculum in this study. This study consists of four main topics for the purposes, which are 1) the dynamism of curriculum development, 2) the change of curriculum development theory by the SBCD, 3) the point of dispute in the method of curriculum development of the SBCD, and 4) the framework of the SBCD. According to the study, it is proved that the SBCD appeared for curriculum development by each school in the 1970s mainly from the OECD members instead of using national curriculum in the 1960s. However, the relationship between the SBCD and the national curriculum is interdependent. So that the method of curriculum development of the SBCD should consider both each school situation and education system formed by social and cultural characteristics of the country. To achieve the purpose and intention of the SBCD, it is necessary to have a view of dynamic curriculum development because the SBCD has an interdependent relationship with the national curriculum. According to the dynamic curriculum development, there is interaction not only between the national curriculum and the SBCD but also within curriculum development steps, participants and curriculum elements. This interaction keeps the dynamism of curriculum development. This study shows `curriculum development based on class situation`, `curriculum development based on situation analysis`, `construction of supporting system for curriculum development` and `support system of curriculum development`. And this study suggested capability of situation analysis as a teacher`s professionalism for curriculum development.
