Title
A PostModern Perspective on Curriculum,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Doll draws relationships among the ideas advanced in chaos theory, Piagetian epistemology, cognitive theory, and the work of Dewey and Whitehead. In this book on the postmodern perspective on the curriculum, the author asserts that the postmodern model of organic change is not necessarily linear, uniform, measured and determined, but is one of emergence and growth, made possible by interaction, transaction, disequilibrium and consequent equilibrium. Transformation, not a set course, the book argues, should be the rule, and openendedness is an essential feature of the postmodern framework. In the book, the author envisages a curriculum in which the teacher's role is not causal, but transformative. The curriculum is not the race course, but the journey itself; metaphors can be more useful than logic in generating dialogue in the community; and educative purpose, planning and evaluation is flexible and focused on process, not product.Scholarly, yet direct and to the point, (Dolls) ideas make sense to front line educators in the real world of todays schools.Kenneth Graham, Seaford Union Free School District
