Neoliberalism has an enormous influence on P-12 education in most industrial societies.

Lawrence, Ann M. – Curriculum Inquiry, 2015
In this article, I review influential contributions made by writing-studies researchers to the research literature on literacy sponsorship. Through this review, I show how subsequent studies have reiterated three basic assumptions of Deborah Brandt's pioneering oral-history project. However, I also demonstrate that later writing-studies research…

Moroye, Christy M.; Ingman, Benjamin C. – Curriculum Inquiry, 2013
This article suggests a framework for evaluating and implementing environmental education (EE) curricula in hopes of furthering EE as a mode of living to be embodied, rather than as a subject to be learned. We argue that the current iterations of EE in K-12 schools stand to benefit by attending to Dewey's criteria for educative experience:…

Battey, Dan – Curriculum Inquiry, 2013
While mathematics education gives access to elite universities, higher-paying jobs, and the accumulation of wealth, it continues to be framed as a neutral curricular domain. However, data continually show differential access provided to students of color and their White peers through tracking, the availability of Advance Placement courses, and…

Burdick, Jake; Sandlin, Jennifer A. – Curriculum Inquiry, 2013
In a 2009 American Educational Research Association session on the topic of public pedagogy, Bill Ayers, serving as the session's discussant, posed the problem of public pedagogy being so broadly conceptualized in the literature base that it might actually become meaningless. Ayers's concern centered on the slippery, ever-proliferating meanings of…

Loughran, John – Curriculum Inquiry, 2013
It is uncommon for an academic to be asked to review ideas developed in his own books (with a particular focus on Loughran, 2006, 2010; Loughran, Berry, & Mulhall, 2012). However, considering the focus of the journal, the editor was interested in pursuing the theme encapsulated in these works--the notion of pedagogy. As this review illustrates,…

Salvio, Paula M. – Curriculum Inquiry, 2009
Taking the World War II photojournalism of Lee Miller as my point of departure, this article has several purposes. First, it introduces the wartime photojournalism of Lee Miller to education. I situate Miller's use of surrealist photography within emerging curricular discourses that take as axiomatic the significance of the unconscious in…

Hilferty, Fiona – Curriculum Inquiry, 2007
In this article, I present an analysis of professionalism as defined and enacted by the History Teachers' Association of New South Wales (HTANSW). This analysis was part of a larger doctoral project (2000-2005) in which I employed critical qualitative inquiry to compare and contrast the contribution that two subject teaching associations (science…

Fendler, Lynn – Curriculum Inquiry, 2006
Community building has been a key concern for a wide array of educational projects. Recently, educational theories concerned about social justice have begun to challenge assumptions about community in U.S. education by criticizing its tendencies toward assimilation and homogeneity. Such theories point out that a communitarian agenda excludes the…

Fullan, Michael – Curriculum Inquiry, 1983
A review of recent studies shows that although significant advances have been made in assessing the degree of implementation of Project Follow Through (a developmental/experimental project), evaluations have not systematically accounted for implementation data. Such data measure the contextual and strategic influences on implementation and would…

Olson, Margaret R.; Craig, Cheryl J. – Curriculum Inquiry, 2005
Building on the research of Crites in theology and Clandinin and Connelly in education, the authors map out three variations of cover stories lived and told by preservice and in-service teachers in order to clarify their scholarship and inform the research of others. We examine how these narratives are formed around canonical stories that teachers…

Based on qualitative research conducted from 1998 to 2001, this article describes classroom interactions in a high school and examines two uses of rules: one associated with confinement, and another associated with cognitive skills development. Though the two forms overlapped, the first was more prevalent in self-contained classes, and the second…
