Description:

Examines a range of ideas, issues, and practices connected to the development, evaluation, and effects of curriculum ideas and practices. Describes historical and contemporary efforts to redefine the public school curriculum, and analyzes both the explicit ideas that are conveyed through the curriculum as well as the social, political, aesthetic, ethical, and moral perspectives and values with which curriculum is connected. Outlines both theoretical issues and practical possibilities in the process of raising questions about the nature and direction of educational policies and practices.
