Synopsis

A core text for the general curriculum course, which is offered at both the senior and graduate levels, this book focuses on using basic curriculum concepts and perspectives to analyze curricula. Eight curricula are presented and analyzed for the reader. They include both elementary and secondary curricula in all four of the major school subjects. Five theoretical perspectives are presented - traditional, structure-of-the-disciplines, experiential, cognitive, and behavioural. Each of the major curriculum topics is viewed from each perspective.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Analyzing the Curriculum provides the backbone for a basic curriculum course at either the senior or graduate level. The book shows how the parts of a curriculum fit together and how to identify assumptions underlying curricula. In doing so, students develop the ability to determine why a curriculum proves better for some students than for others; what approaches to teaching are compatible with a particular curriculum; what difficulties a curriculum is likely to encounter during implementation; and what kinds of changes in the curriculum parents, students, and administrators are likely to demand. These are valuable skills for evaluating, selecting and adapting existing programs to suit particular situations.
