The Shaping of the Curriculum.
Goldstein, Laurence
Oxford Review of Education, v14 n2 p215-25 1988
Argues that (1) curriculum construction on the basis of "a priori" reasoning about the partitioning of knowledge is misguided; (2) serious curriculum planning should be underwritten by an account of the purpose of education; and (3) there is a bewildering variety of such accounts. Contends that curriculum is formed without sound educational theorizing, a situation unlikely to be countered. (GEA)
