A Curriculum for Life: Schools for a Democratic Learning Society

This volume sets out to discover what kind of curriculum is needed in the 21st century. It is widely recognized that the curriculum must be reconsidered, and this text seeks to counter the incoherence and fragmentation of much curriculum thinking. It draws upon theory and research from social science, psychology, philosophy and politics. The new "curriculum for life" focusses on themes like social development, thinknig skills, parenting, citizenship and work-related learning.
