Synopsis

The eighth edition of Curriculum Planning is a selection of readings that presents the knowledge, skills, and alternative strategies needed by curriculum planners and teachers at all levels of education, from early childhood through adulthood. The book offers a variety of learning experiences for students with wide-ranging interests, learning styles, and backgrounds.

The eighth edition includes 43 new articles, nine of which were written for this book, and two new chapters: Ch. 5 “Developing the Curriculum” and Ch. 6 “Curriculum and Instruction.”

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

“I greatly appreciate the pedagogical features of this book. The numerous questions and activities make planning for class sessions an easy task. The ‘Teachers Voices’ feature in each chapter helps students see how real teachers have used theory in practice. . . . This book is an eye-opener for my students, which usually leads to further exploration of the topics presented.”
—Allen H. Seed, University of Memphis
