First published in 1992, this book presents unique quantitative
data on the content coverage of primary education in a large number
of countries since 1920. It demonstrates that these curricular
outlines tend to be surprisingly similar across very disparate
countries, and suggests the world processes that produced this
result. Specifically, the study shows that the contemporary primary
curriculum dates from changes in the late nineteenth century; that
there has been a general shift towards a 'social studies' subject;
that instruction in mathematics and sciences has tended to expand;
that there have been substantial increases in foreign language
instruction (and changes in the languages taught); and that
instruction in the arts and physical education come to the standard
world education model much later than other subjects. This work
will be of particular interest to those studying primary
curriculum, international education and the sociology of education.
