Viac o knihe

At a time of numerous policy initiatives and rapid social change, there is a need for curriculum designers and theorists to question the nature and function of school curricula and the purposes of formal public education. Comparing the English National Curriculum with curriculum developments around the globe, Alex Moore draws on a range of educational, philosophical and sociological theories to address the question 'What is a curriculum for?'. Understanding the School Curriculum will support all students following undergraduate and Masters courses in curriculum, public policy and education-related subjects, as well as training and practicing teachers.
