The Curriculum

By John Franklin Bobbitt and Franklin Bobbitt

Book Overview

The Curriculum is a book written by Franklin Bobbitt, first published in 1918, which explores the concept of curriculum design and its relationship to society. Bobbitt argues that the purpose of education is to prepare individuals to be productive members of society, and that the curriculum should be designed with this goal in mind. He advocates for a scientific approach to curriculum design, in which each subject is analyzed to determine its essential components, and then taught in a logical and systematic way. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of education, the role of the teacher, and the relationship between education and social change. It has been highly influential in the field of education, and is still widely read and cited today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
