Summary

The Curriculum Studies Reader brings together for the first time a collection of significant works by the leading scholars in the field. Beginning with the emergence of curriculum as a distinctive field of inquiry, it follows the main currents of thought through the turmoil of the curriculum reform era and on to current trends. The editors have taken great care to select writings that reflect the diversity and scope of curriculum theory, research and practice, particularly contemporary issues such as multiculturalism, AIDS education, and national standards. This collection provides a firm base from which to view the field and look toward its future.
