Curriculum
Landscapes and Trends is of interest to curriculum researchers and students, curriculum
developers, curriculum policy makers, and educational textbook developers. It
can also be used as a text for curriculum courses in higher education. Curriculum
problems are everywhere: alert observers with a practiced eye and educated
mind will find it almost impossible to read a newspaper without discovering
curricular issues. The media often report about educational reforms or even
about curriculum wars with opposing parties fiercely debating the aims,
content and organization of learning. Few people analyze these trends and
discussions from a curricular conceptual framework. In addition, people
sometimes think that their curriculum approaches and problems are unique and
context-specific. However, international experience shows us that we can
learn a lot from curriculum issues elsewhere. This
book aims to sharpen the eyes and minds of a broader audience in identifying,
understanding, addressing and reflecting upon curriculum problems. It also
aims to contribute to the increased exchange, discussion and reflection on
all the current curriculum problems that form such a crucial part of learning
worldwide. |
