The argument is made that education and curriculum practices are deficient for two reasons. The first is the adoption by governments, policy-makers and practitioners of a set of knowledge practices that can be broadly characterised as empiricist and technicist, and which has come to dominate how curricula are constructed and certainly how education systems and their work can be described. The second is the adoption of a model of curriculum that is both backward-looking and, in its own terms, confused and muddled. This book then sets out an alternative model, which is more cogent and better focused on human wellbeing.Evaluating Education: Normative Systems and Institutional Practices,2570-026XEducationCurriculaLearning, Psychology ofEducational tests and measurementsCurriculum StudiesInstructional PsychologyAssessment and TestingEducationCurricula.Learning, Psychology of.Educational tests and measurements.Curriculum Studies.Instructional Psychology.Assessment and Testing.370Scott Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut361327BOOK9910254972503321New Perspectives on Curriculum, Learning and Assessment2523206UNINA
