DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis primer for teachers (prospective and practicing) asks readers to question the historical present and their relation to it, and in so doing, to construct their own understandings of what it means to teach, to study, to become "educated" in the present moment. Curriculum theory is the scholarly effort – inspired by theory in the humanities, arts and interpretive social sciences – to understand the curriculum, defined here as "complicated conversation." Rather than the formulation of objectives to be evaluated by (especially standardized) tests, curriculum is communication informed by academic knowledge, and it is characterized by educational experience. Pinar recasts school reform as school deform in which educational institutions devolve into cram schools preparing for standardized exams, and traces the history of this catastrophe starting in 1950s. Changes in the Second Edition: Introduces Pinar’s formulation of allegories-of-the-present — a concept in which subjectivity, history, and society become articulated through the teacher’s participation in the complicated conversation that is the curriculum; features a new chapter on Weimar Germany (as an allegory of the present); includes new chapters on the future, and on the promises and risks of technology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book collects recent and creative theorizing emerging in the fields of curriculum studies and curriculum theory, through an emphasis on provoking encounters. Drawn from a return to foundational texts, the emphasis on an ‘encountering’ curriculum highlights the often overlooked, pre-conceptual aspects of the educational experience; these aspects include the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of teaching and learning. The book highlights that immediate components of one’s encounters with education—across formal and informal settings—comprise a large part of the teaching and learning processes. Chapters offer both close readings of specific work from the curriculum theory archive, as well as engagements with cutting-edge conceptual issues across disciplinary lines, with contributions from leading and emerging scholars across the field of curriculum studies. This book will be of great interest to researchers, academics and post-graduate students in the fields of curriculum studies and curriculum theory.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCurriculum and all its discourses constitute the heart of education and all its paraphernalia and largely informs the happenings in higher education or universities. As a result of the importance of curriculum, all scholars in the field of education in general claim or appear to claim expertise in all things curriculum and how the field should unfold. These struggles in the field of curriculum studies are made more complex by the unstable times the world as a whole and higher education in particular is currently facing. The world in general and higher education in particular is currently dealing with and striving to readjust to the new normal and abnormalities created by the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the calls for decolonisation, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and other contextual crises in different nations across the African continent. This book takes on all things curriculum in higher education, placing them within the context of time and circumstances so as to articulate a way forward for the field in this unsettling times.
