The Syllabus as Curriculum : A Reconceptualist Approach Hardback
by Samuel D. (University of British Columbia, Canada) Rocha
Part of the Studies in Curriculum Theory Series series
Hardback
Description
Can the syllabus constitute the curriculum? In this volume, Rocha explores curriculum theory through the lens of the syllabus.
By critiquing curriculum studies and the entire field of education, overrun by the social sciences, Rocha provides an integrated vision of philosophy of education and curriculum theory, rooted in the humanities. Through an original reconceptualization, this text draws from a broad range of sources – ranging from Classical Antiquity to the present – offering a rich context for understanding curriculum as a philosophically salient concept, contained within the syllabus.
The Syllabus as Curriculum features actual syllabi created and taught by the author in undergraduate and graduate courses at the University of British Columbia, Canada.
These curated syllabi work as exemplars and media, supported by pedagogical commentary and context.
Inspired by Augustine’s Confessions, each part of the book culminates in a metaphorical "garden," which serves as a meditation on the syllabus in three senses: correspondence, essay, and outline. An original, powerful, and corrective contribution to the literature on curriculum studies, this work invites teachers and scholars from across the foundations of education, especially philosophy of education, art education, and those invested in curriculum theory, to see their contribution in more direct and integral ways.
