A Post-Modern Perspective on Curriculum
ISBN: 9780807734476 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book on the post-modern perspective on the curriculum, the author asserts that the post-modern model of organic change is not necessarily linear, uniform, measured and determined, but is one of emergence and growth, made possible by interaction, transaction, disequilibrium and consequent equilibrium.
