Creating Curricula: Aims, Knowledge and Control

Häftad, Engelska, 2019

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

Knowledge has been a defining focus for the curriculum studies field. In the early part of the 21st century convincing arguments were mounted that knowledge needed to be ‘brought back in’, both to the curriculum of schools and to the attention of curriculum researchers. This book is a result of these arguments, and what some regarded as a ‘crisis’ in curriculum study related to the growing emphasis on international comparisons between education systems. The book’s most important contribution is to build on seminal work in the sociology and philosophy of education in order to develop new foundations for curriculum study, using the importance of ‘transactions’ as the context for understanding knowledge in the curriculum. The contributors build on this importance to suggest a rapprochement in the field around the idea of curriculum knowledge as both constructed and real. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Curriculum Journal.

Through in-depth research in diverse primary schools, Manyukhina and Wyse explore how children's voices and choices shape their learning experiences - and why it matters. This ground-breaking text offers new insights into one of education's most pressing questions: how to balance children's agency with educational standards.The 40-month research project that is at the heart of the book investigated how England’s national curriculum, and other educational structures, affect children’s agency. The authors report findings in three contrasting schools: an inner-city primary school, a suburban academy primary school, and an independent school. As a result of in-depth longitudinal research this book uncovers the details of how schools can enable or limit children’s ability to shape their learning, from classroom choices and playground decisions to curriculum and school councils.Children's Agency in the National Curriculum engages with England’s national curriculum in the context of curriculum studies and curriculum development internationally. The new findings arise from research that is ‘close-to-practice’, ensuring that the implications of the work are relevant for children, teachers, and policy makers alike.
