The Educo-Politics of Curriculum Development: A Response to Peter Fensham's 'Time To Change Drivers for Scientific Literacy'.
Aikenhead, Glen
Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, v2 n1 p49-57 Jan 2002
Comments on Fensham's (2002) suggestion that 'societal experts' are better situated than academic scientists to decide what knowledge is worth having. Suggests that Fensham's proposal lacks the educo-politics needed to counter the customary devious educo-politics expected from those who support the status quo, particularly some academic scientists. (Contains 39 references.) (Author/YDS)
