Curriculum Theory: Conflicting Visions and Enduring Concerns, 2nd Edition

The Second Edition of Curriculum Theory: Conflicting Visions and Enduring Concerns by Michael Stephen Schiro presents a clear, unbiased, and rigorous description of the major curriculum philosophies that have influenced educators and schooling over the last century. The author analyzes four educational visions―Scholar Academic, Social Efficiency, Learner Centered, and Social Reconstruction―to enable readers to reflect on their own educational beliefs and more productively interact with educators who might hold different beliefs.
