"Curriculum Theory: Conflicting Visions and Enduring Concerns analyzes four educational visions - Scholar Academic, Social Efficiency, Learner Centered, and Social Reconstruction - to enable readers to reflect on their own educational beliefs and allow them to more productively interact with educators who mlqht hold different beliefs. The book provides a historical perspective on the origins of curriculum ideologies; offers a model of how educational movements can be critically analyzed; highlights the complexities of curriculum work in a social context; and pays careful attention to the way educators use language to give meaning to frequently unspoken assumptions"--BOOK JACKET
