Images of Curriculum
Images of Curriculum
People who work with curriculum carry a picture in their heads of what it is, and the picture shapes what they do with it. There are seven of these images. Each one is a different answer to the question “what kind of thing is a curriculum,” and each one leads to a different way of planning a school. This chapter takes them in pairs and ends with the two that push schools to change society.
The oldest image, curriculum as the subjects taught, and the fuller image of curriculum as everything planned in advance
Curriculum as a set of intended learning outcomes, and curriculum as the way a society passes its culture to the next generation
The view that what a learner actually lives through, not what was planned, is the real curriculum, and the idea of currere
Curriculum as discrete skills to master, and curriculum as an agenda for improving an imperfect society
