%X The paper presents a curriculum model used as a theoretical framework to analyse classroom practice in Icelandic and Science in the context of national tests in Iceland. The model represents a synthesis of literature about curriculum, teachers¡¯ conceptions, pedagogical content knowledge, teaching and learning and assessment. The curriculum model comprises three main aspects of curriculum: the intended, the implemented and the attained curriculum. Each aspect includes several ¡®frames¡¯ or areas that can be studied separately, together or in interaction with one another. Furthermore theories of teachers¡¯ conceptions, pedagogical content knowledge and perceived self- and collective efficacy are used to analyse the possible discrepancy between the curriculum aspects and the effects of national tests on the implemented and attained curricula.
