Opis

In the mid-1970s a shift in the intellectual work of the field of curriculum studies gave birth to a movement now commonly referred to as reconceptualization. The intellectual efforts taken up under reconceptualization advanced the field from curriculum development (with a focus on objectives, scope, sequence, and evaluation) toward curriculum understanding (with a focus on the individual experience of the public as the primary focus of teaching and learning). This text addresses what is comes after the reconceptualization of curriculum studies and considers the contribution of the next wave of curriculum scholars. It speaks to these questions through the work of 25 newer scholars who explore, each in their own their own unique ways, the present moment in curriculum studies. To contextualize the work of this up-and-coming generation, each chapter is paired with a shorter response authored by a well-known scholar in the field.

Recenzje

'Through an incredibly eclectic mix of junior and established scholars, this volume represents a uniquely current and diverse presentation of curriculum studies inquiry. The focus on emergent/junior scholars anticipates evolving lines of inquiry in the field, and brings those inquiries into direct dialogue with experts in the field/s. In this sense, this volume is current, progressive, and in some sense revolutionary."--Michael P. O’Malley, Texas State University at San Marcos, USA
