Policies for the curriculum

by Bob Moon, Patricia Murphy (Editor), John Raynor (Editor)

The first of two Open University readers intended for students on course E819, Curriculum and Assessment. Together with "Development in Learning and Assessment", these two volumes provide postgraduates and academics with a range of contemporary perspectives on national and international concerns for curriculum policy. This book explores the historical contexts for curricular decision-making, the standards debate, quality and effectiveness in schooling and recent research into processes of curriculum change. This volume brings together many contemporary concerns in curriculum studies, and is international rather than national in design.
