EDUC 5301G - Foundations of Curriculum for the 21st Century

The aim of this course is to research and explore the historical and theoretical aspects of curriculum for the 21st century. Students will review the major curricular themes in the literature (both past and present), explore a framework for thinking about curriculum change for the 21st century, and develop critical and analytical skills appropriate to the scholarly discussion of curriculum. Students will also apply informed theory to their own contexts of practice. The course is participatory and practice-based (entailing critical reflection on curriculum practice), responsive and collaborative (focusing on the particular contexts and interests of participants) and critical (entailing constructive critique of education and other values and assumptions that inform curriculum policy, organization and practice).
