How can Paulo Freire s progressive and vital contributions to
curriculum planning can be made more relevant today for educators,
policy makers and anybody involved in education? This book provides
a necessary framework as it articulates significant questions. The
first deals with Freire s positions on curriculum planning, the
second is devoted to the historical development and the character
of his perspective on curriculum planning, and the third refers to
the ways his perspective compares to others, as well as to its
contemporary value. Freire s perspective comes into direct conflict
with traditional views on curriculum planning, the content of which
represents what is perceived as the highest expression of Western
civilization. Freire also breaks with the dominant perspective of
social efficiency on curriculum planning whose main aim is to
supply, via behavioral objectives, the knowledge and skills deemed
necessary for the efficient function of the economy and the
society, treats learners as passive receivers of knowledge, and
assigns to curriculum a technical character disarticulated from
social, political or ideological conflicts. In addition, he does
not focus on studying the learner in an abstract or a-historical
framework, nor does he adopt an individualistic interpretation
which fetishizes spontaneity. In contrast to traditional
perspectives on the curriculum, Freire provides a fertile ground
for teachers and any others who seek to transform schools and
improve student s learning and lives."
