EDUC 7436 Curriculum Design and Enactment
This course focuses on questions about what curriculum is, its purpose in society, and how it functions as a social mechanism. In this course, the curriculum is understood to have multiple forms and meanings. It is aspirational (what one aspires to accomplish), technical (a designed artifact, like a textbook or plan, used as an instructional medium), andphenomenological (characterizing what learners experience or take away from their encounters with curriculum). After exploring the multiple meanings of curriculum, the course will then focus on the design and enactment of curriculum materials. In terms of design, we will examine different models of design as well as analyze curriculum materials from these perspectives. Finally, we will consider the curriculum enactment process in terms of different meanings and possibilities within k-12 school settings.
