Features: This book is the most important and most comprehensive textbook on curriculum theory in the United States after Ralph Tyler's "Principles of Curriculum and Instruction." It discusses the nearly 170-year development of American curriculum theory (1828-1994), with a focus on the development of the American curriculum field after "conceptual reconstruction." It provides a thorough analysis of various theories such as "political curriculum theory," "racial curriculum theory," "postmodern curriculum theory," "autobiographical curriculum theory," "aesthetic curriculum theory," "theological curriculum theory," and "institutional curriculum theory."
