South Africa’s education system has transformed significantly over the course of three decades, with curriculum often perceived as the lever to effect change. This book takes a broader perspective through engaging curriculum transformation alongside and with particular curriculum studies theories that cut across schooling and postschooling. Curriculum Studies (in the) Now: Transformations and Possibilities brings leading South African scholars together to engage curriculum matters and curriculum studies as a field of inquiry aimed at advancing perspectives from the Global South. The book not only takes new and established researchers on a journey into curriculum studies and its transformations, but opens up possibilities for thinking and doing curriculum research and practice differently.

Curriculum Studies (in the) Now: Transformations and Possibilities is an essential resource for researchers and students, new or familiar with curriculum studies as a field of inquiry. It is at once a history and a synthesis of contemporary thinking, but it leaves readers with plenty of possibilities for research and practice to navigate themselves in an ever-changing, indeterminate curriculum landscape.

Quality Assessment In South African Schools provides a balanced view of assessment in terms of the policy statement on assessment for South African schools.
