As key agents in implementing national education policies, cur-riculum supervisors had long navigated complex institutional pressures. However, the institutionalization of the National Education Advisory Group (NEAG) paradoxically resulted in the formal disappearance of their role. Drawing on the theoretical perspectives of emotional distance, micropolitics, and symbolic interactionism, this study adopted an in-terpretive qualitative approach to examine how curriculum supervisors experienced and negotiated their roles amid institutional reform. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six supervisors, supplemented by observations and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that, in terms of emotional distance, supervisors experienced emotional displacement and identity fissures as their roles shifted from partners to monitors. In their mic-ropolitical practices, they employed ambiguous language and ritualized interactions to balance institutional regulations with local relationships. Through symbolic interaction, emotional performances and role enact-ments embodied the implicit politics of their daily work. This study ar-gued that institutionalization was not merely a rational restructuring process but a micropolitical practice interwoven with power reproduc-tion and emotional governance. The“masks”performed by supervisors exposed the inherent contradictions of their professional roles and illus-trated how these micropolitical practices ultimately hastened their insti-tutional marginalization. These insights provided theoretical and practi-cal implications for future educational policy implementation and leader-ship role design. |
