Originally published in 1974. This book presents research into the
planning and implementation of the Keele Integrated Studies
Project. From 1969 to 1972 the work of the project team was
investigated through observation, questionnaire and interview to
obtain a picture of the way decisions about curriculum innovation
are made and of how these decisions are executed in schools. The
book is mainly the outsider's view, but the Project Director and
the Assistant Director have contributed chapters and comments by
members of the project team are also included. Three aspects of the
curriculum project are covered: the interaction between project
team, trial schools, university, local authority and Schools
Council; the relations within the project team, within the trial
schools, and between the curriculum innovators and the classroom
teachers; and the impact of the project after the finish of the
trial in the schools. The final chapters include conclusions on the
process of curriculum change and on the education system in which
it occurs. The problems of reconciling the different perspectives
and interests of all the parties involved are examined in detail,
showing that negotiation, adaptation and compromise are at the
heart of curriculum change.
