Description

In this episode we discuss a simple set of views on what curriculums are and what they do. 
The episode explores this set of possible curricula

1. Curriculum as a body of knowledge to be transmitted. A conservative approach. Related to the canon.
2. Curriculum designed to achieve a particular end in students - a scientific or neo-liberal approach. Concerned with jobs and what society needs economically.
3. Curriculum as process - developmentally focused - in harmony with a student’s interests.
4. Curriculum as praxis. The social justice focused curricula of the social meliorists. Concerned with analysing society and raising a generation equipped to defeat injustice.
