Description

The course explores the ways in which the curriculum reflects the ‘knowledge considered worth knowing’ at a particular social and historical point in time. We critically engage with the extent to which both the intended and operational curriculum shape notions of learner difference and diversity, and can play a role in perpetuating the status quo in a society. The course also investigates agentive possibilities for engaging with learner difference and diversity within a range of curriculum contexts.
