It is very much a product of the wide knowledge and experience of the author.′ - Jenny Houssart, Senior Lecturer, Department of Learning, Curriculum \u0026amp; Communication, Institute of Education, University of London, UK      Praise for previous editions:      `I use this book as an essential course text for a module on curriculum theory. It is an excellent text for the whole course′      `Vic Kelly′s writing is always concise and informative, but also at times challenging′      `A most comprehensive text that takes the reader beyond content\/balance issues values, beliefs and assumptions on the curriculum′      This is the sixth edition of a book that has been regularly revised and updated since it was first published in the mid-1970s. A V Kelly′s now classic work focuses on the philosophical and political dimensions of curriculum, and especially on the implications for schools and societies of various forms of curriculum.      The book outlines what form a curriculum should take if it is concerned to promote a genuine form of education for a genuinely democratic society. Kelly summarises and explains the main aspects of curriculum theory, and shows how these can and should be translated into practice, in order to create an educational and democratic curriculum for all schools at all levels.      The book also seeks to show that the politicization of the school curriculum has led to the establishment of policies and practices which demonstrate a failure to understand these principles of curriculum theory and practice. As a result, policies and practices have been implemented which fall short of being adequate.      In view of the rapid pace of educational change imposed by various governments over the last 35 years, including New Labour, this book is more relevant than ever.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49534641013009,"sku":"GOR003818593","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49639028162833,"sku":"GOR006548217","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49734994002193,"sku":"NGR9781847872753","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50252043452689,"sku":"CIN1847872751VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50455103832337,"sku":"CIN1847872751G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51056496607505,"sku":"NIN9781847872753","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51382892036369,"sku":"GOR006664517","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52687902343441,"sku":"NLS9781847872753","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1847872751.jpg?v=1750834168"},{"product_id":"education-and-democracy-book-a-vic-kelly-9781853962059","title":"Education and Democracy","description":"he main premises of this book are that democracy is a moral rather than merely a political system; that it provides a set of moral principles which must be adhered to in all social planning; and that much current social policy worldwide ignores those moral imperatives and thus places democracy itself at risk.    The author sets out to clarify the principles which are central to any concept of democracy, and which must be reflected in all social institutions within a democratic society. He explores the significance, for the democratic health of a society, of the way in which knowledge is conceived, especially within educational planning. In the light of both these considerations, he identifies the essential features of a genuinely democratic system of education, and evaluates current policies for education.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49556816167185,"sku":"GOR004674107","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49654727999761,"sku":"GOR005927681","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52537835258129,"sku":"NLS9781853962059","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1853962058.jpg?v=1751429283"},{"product_id":"national-curriculum-book-a-vic-kelly-9781853961151","title":"The National Curriculum","description":"Anyone looking for a clear account of several of the arguments against The National Curriculum would find Vic Kelly′s The National Curriculum just such a book′ - Ted Wragg    ′This book represents the most sustained critique of The National Curriculum I have seen′ - British Journal of Curriculum and Assessment         A National Curriculum is now being taught in all maintained schools and an associated programme for the testing of all pupils at key stages of The National Curriculum is in place.
