On Defining Curriculum.
Portelli, John P.
Journal of Curriculum and Supervision, v2 n4 p354-67 Sum 1987
Discusses the issue of defining "curriculum" and considers four main questions: why theorists have defined the concept, the definitions they have offered, the usefulness of these definitions, and the advisability of creating definitions for any abstract concept. For some terms no definitions can encompass all the various usages and meanings. Includes 63 references. (MLH)
