Curriculum: Theory and Practice

By A.V. Kelly

In this extensively revised fourth edition, A.V. Kelly surveys the theory and practice of curriculum planning and development. This comprehensive textbook provides an in-depth guide to understanding the curriculum, covering what it is, why it matters, and how it has come to be, as well as the various conceptions of knowledge and learning on which it is based. The author believes that a social institution as important as education demands to be evaluated critically, beyond the often superficial justifications offered by those involved in creating and implementing educational policy.
