Adams, Erin – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2022
This article describes a study wherein teachers talked about school architecture by using their bodies as well as their voices while analysing maps youth drew of their schools. The youths' maps and the teachers' discussions revealed evidence of their tacit understanding of panoptic surveillance. This may be evocative of the ways panoptic…

Calleja, James; Buhagiar, Michael A. – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2022
This paper explores students' resistance when they were expected by their teacher to start learning mathematics through investigations, a pedagogy that emphasizes an active and agentic approach to learning in contrast to the traditional transmission-based teaching to which they were accustomed. This resistance is investigated from the perspectives…

Kindenberg, Bjorn – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2022
Based on Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) informed genre theory, this paper investigates the interplay between narrative and analytical representations of the past in texts used for history-educational purposes. In this paper, it is argued that the role of narrative merits further attention in history genre descriptions. Thirteen history…

Miguel-Revilla, Diego – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2022
Secondary education students do not usually perceive history as a subject connected with their lives, backgrounds and interests. At the same time, prospective and in-service teachers do not always have a coherent vision of this discipline, which can reflect on their students' perceptions. This study makes use of a theoretical framework developed…

Annala, J.; Mäkinen, M.; Lindén, J.; Henriksson, J. – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2022
This study explores academics' changing agency in curriculum work in higher education. Bourdieu's concepts of field, habitus and capital, followed by the metaphor of game, are used as tools to analyse stability and change in agency. The interview data collection from 17 academics was implemented twice over 3 years after two different processes of…

Ares, Nancy; Cochell, Laura – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2022
Continuing racial inequities and marginalization have led some communities to reject reliance on public schooling by forming their own programmes and/or schools, claiming sovereignty over the education of their children. We highlight Freedom Schools as one such ongoing but under-studied movement that precedes and contributes to recent,…

The purpose of this study is to describe an alternative understanding of "Bildung-centred Didaktik" through an examination of Wilhelm von Humboldt's conception and practice of educational reform--"Bildungsreform," 1809-1810--in which the concept of science ("Wissenschaft") was regarded as the fundamental goal and…

Vaughn, Margaret; Scales, Roya Q.; Stevens, Elizabeth Y.; Kline, Sonia; Barrett-Tatum, Jennifer; Van Wig, Ann; Yoder, Karen K.; Wellman, Debra – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2021
Since the passing of No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 (NCLB), teacher autonomy over curricular decisions has been restricted. As a result, state and local school districts faced increased pressures to adopt highly prescriptive and standardized literacy curricular programmes. Given this context, literacy curriculum adoption has become a widely…

Maag Merki, Katharina; Buehlmann, Franziska; Kamm, Chantal; Truniger, Annina; Emmerich, Marcus – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2021
Previous research has demonstrated that school processes can be significantly associated with (in)equality in schools. However, it is unclear what these practices in schools look like. This study aims to understand support practices for students in primary schools in a highly selective education system. The findings are based on a contrastive case…

Collin, Ross – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2021
This conceptual article critiques a popular account of education grounded in Bourdieu's social theories. Specifically, the article shows how Bourdieu overplays competition and underplays ethics, or people's diverse ways of imagining, debating, and living out the good. On a Bourdieusian view of education, it is difficult to see how educators and…

de Paor, Cathal – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2021
Over a hundred years later, "The Curriculum" by John Franklin Bobbitt continues to be relevant for understanding contemporary issues in education. One issue has been the association with elements of reform such as scripted curriculum programmes and high-stakes standardized testing. This article argues that while Bobbitt's message was one…

Sefton-Green, Julian – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2021
In the wider context of ways that Literacy works to enforce control by elites, the maintenance of high culture, racial stratification, national identity and social injustice through education, this review essay reflects on Allan Luke's collected essays republished by Routledge in 2018 as "Critical literacy, schooling, and social justice: The…

Brinkmann, Malte – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2021
Following the continental tradition of phenomenological pedagogy, this paper focuses on the lived time and space of school -- and on contexts in which school is understood as a democratic community. It does so by comparing and contrasting related works of G.W.F. Hegel (1770-1831), Martinus Langeveld (1905-1989) and Eugen Fink (1905-1975). It shows…
