Post Modern Perspective on Curriculum - Thryft

Transformational education through open-ended, organic growth.

This book is a great read for educators and students who are looking for a new perspective on curriculum development. The author advocates for a transformational approach to education that values growth over conformity and encourages educators to view themselves as facilitators rather than authorities. The book's emphasis on the process of education and the use of metaphor for generating dialogue make it a unique and valuable resource for those interested in rethinking traditional models of curriculum design.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Doll draws relationships among the ideas advanced in chaos theory, Piagetian epistemology, cognitive theory, and the work of Dewey and Whitehead. In this book on the post-modern perspective on the curriculum, the author asserts that the post-modern model of organic change is not necessarily linear, uniform, measured and determined, but is one of emergence and growth, made possible by interaction, transaction, disequilibrium and consequent equilibrium. Transformation, not a set course, the book argues, should be the rule, and open-endedness is an essential feature of the post-modern framework. In the book, the author envisages a curriculum in which the teacher's role is not causal, but transformative. The curriculum is not the race course, but the journey itself; metaphors can be more useful than logic in generating dialogue in the community; and educative purpose, planning and evaluation is flexible and focused on process, not product.
