Essays on School Curriculum

The school curriculum has many different conceptions. It may include any educational experience. It may also be conceived as a conversation, relationships, and it is this phenomenon of plurality that is inherent in the new paradigm view of curriculum. It must be understood as encompassing not only those experiences that take place within schools, but the entire scope of formative experience both within and outside of schools. Further, it includes experiences that are not planned or directed, as well as experiences that are intentionally directed (in or out of school) for the purposeful formation of right citizenry of society.
