Practical Pursuits and the Curriculum

Carr, David

Journal of Philosophy of Education, 12, 69-80, 78

Reconsiders the educational value of practical activity and practical knowledge. Argues that a current influential curriculum theory, which implies that practical activities only merit educational justification in so far as they relate to forms of theoretical knowledge, is mistaken. Comments on the work of G.H. Bantock and D.H. Lawrence. For journal availability, see SO 506 625. (Author/BC)
