New Perspectives on Curriculum, Learning and Assessment Paperback / softback
by David Scott
Part of the Evaluating Education: Normative Systems and Institutional Practices series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book offers a detailed analysis and assessment of the state of education round the world.
The argument is made that education and curriculum practices are deficient for two reasons.
The first is the adoption by governments, policy-makers and practitioners of a set of knowledge practices that can be broadly characterised as empiricist and technicist, and which has come to dominate how curricula are constructed and certainly how education systems and their work can be described.
The second is the adoption of a model of curriculum that is both backward-looking and, in its own terms, confused and muddled.
This book then sets out an alternative model, which is more cogent and better focused on human wellbeing.
