CAEP and the Decline of Curriculum and Teaching in an Age of "Techne": I Have Seen the Enemy and He Is Us
Schwarz, Gretchen
Curriculum and Teaching Dialogue, v18 n1-2 p41-54 2016
The CAEP "Advanced Standards" (2014) threaten graduate education in curriculum and teaching. This chapter examines CAEP documents and particularly the "Standards" to discover implications for their acceptance. Second, the argument is made that CAEP is built on unrealistic views of teaching and curriculum as "techne", how-to knowledge, that could reduce graduate programs to largely dehumanized, narrow technique. Finally, it seems time for faculty members themselves to take responsibility and action.
