Key Concepts in Curriculum Studies: Perspectives on the Fundamentals

by Judy Wearing (editor), Marcea Ingersoll (Editor), Christopher DeLuca (Editor)

Offering an accessible entry into curriculum theory, this book defines and contextualizes key concepts for novice and experienced students. Leading scholars in curriculum studies provide short anchor texts that introduce, define, and situate contemporary curriculum theory constructs. Each anchor text is followed by two concise, creative keyword responses that demonstrate varied perspectives and connections, allowing readers to reflect on and engage with the personal relevance of these fundamental concepts.

Useful to instructors and scholars alike, this book explains keyword writing as a teaching and learning strategy and invites readers to enter the complicated conversations of contemporary curriculum theory through their own creative, personal responses. Featuring wide-ranging, nuanced, and varied commentary on major relevant themes, as well as discussion questions for students, this book is an essential text for doctoral and masters-level courses in curriculum studies.

We only read a few chapters of this. I really liked the premise of this book and suggested a couple of assignment ideas to my prof based on that premise. Hoping I can find time one day to read more of this.
