This volume brings together a collection of essays by William A.
Reid that present and elaborate the deliberative tradition of
curriculum theory, and examine the implications of a deliberative
perspective for approaches to policy making and school systems. The
essays illustrate the development of Reid's understanding of the
deliberative tradition and his efforts to extend it from a focus on
practice to one that embraces conceptions of schooling as an
institution. Institution and practice are the key concepts which
guide and illuminate the central thesis of the book: To be
effective, a theory of curriculum must be able to talk not only
about questions of desirable practice, but also about questions of
how practice may be aided or constrained by the nature of the
institution within which it takes place. This significant new
contribution to the literature of curriculum studies: *represents a
unique attempt to synthesize what have often been treated as quite
separate issues: questions of the philosophical basis for
curriculum decision making, questions of processes of decision
making, and questions of the nature of schools and classrooms;
*presents its material in an evolutionary way, focusing on the
continuing development of ideas, rather than on a "rhetoric of
conclusions"; and *offers a summing up of thought and achievement
in the deliberative tradition that is not otherwise available.
