At a time of rapid social change and numerous policy initiatives,
there is a need to question the nature and function of school
curricula and the purposes of formal public education. Comparing
curriculum developments around the globe, Understanding the School
Curriculum draws on a range of educational, philosophical and
sociological theories to examine the question 'What is a curriculum
for?' In considering different answers to this fundamental
question, it explores a range of topical issues and debates,
including: tensions and dynamics within curriculum policy The
implications of uncertainty and rapid social change for curriculum
development the positive and negative influence of free market
ideologies on public education the impact of globalization and
digital technologies arguments for and against common core
curricula and state control It examines the possibility of a school
curriculum that is not shaped and monitored by dominant interests
but that has as its founding principles the promotion of
responsibility, responsiveness, a love of learning, and a sense of
wonder and respect for the natural and social world. Understanding
the School Curriculum is for all students following undergraduate
and Masters courses in curriculum, public policy and
education-related subjects. It is also for all training and
practising teachers who wish to combine a deeper understanding of
major curriculum issues with a critical understanding of the ways
in which ideologies impact on formal state education, and to
consider ways of producing school curricula that are appropriate to
the times we live in.
