Curriculum Studies - EDUC703
The study of curriculum is central to our understanding of educational institutions. It can be focused on the learning of a single student or group of students; on the formal curriculum of a school or other educational workplace; or it can be expansive in its national and international focus. This unit encompasses each of these areas and introduces you to the breadth of curriculum studies. It considers the nature of curriculum, the relationships between curriculum, knowledge and ideology, curriculum planning, curriculum implementation and evaluation, curriculum change and curriculum futures. You are encouraged to apply insights developed from the theory and practice of curriculum studies that we consider to your own school/workplace/organisation and to the analysis of current state, national and international trends in curriculum. We consider current issues being researched or unfolding in the curriculum literature with a view to identifying research trends and possibilities.
