The Curriculum : Problems, Politics, and Possibilities, Used [Paperback]

This book examines six major areas of theory and practice that exemplify the field of curriculum: the historical dimensions of the field; planning and organizing the curricula for the public schools; the problem of selecting appropriate content for inclusion in the curriculum; the effect of the workplace of teaching on curriculum theory and development; technology and curriculum; and problems of evaluation. Multiple perspectives are included within each of these major areas, and the various authors help to disentangle both the political and ethical differences among competing perspectives. Beyer and Apple's book extends the scope of recent critically-oriented work in the curriculum field, clarifying both the conceptual and practical dimensions of curriculum decision-making.
