Features: This book offers a fresh interpretation of the relationship between curriculum and culture. Centered on the deconstruction of the proposition that curriculum transmits culture, it analyzes contemporary Western critical and reflective cultural perspectives and curriculum cultural perspectives. The book explicitly proposes the proposition that "curriculum is culture," thereby transforming curriculum from a tool of cultural existence to a subject of cultural existence, becoming an autonomous, self-disciplined, and self-determined educational culture. Building on this, the book further elaborates on a constructive curriculum cultural model that focuses on cultural critique and generation. This model is not only beneficial for the transformation of theoretical paradigms in curriculum research but also offers inspiration and reference for curriculum reform practices.
