Through this approach the authors encourage readers to consider choices and formulate their own views on curriculum foundations, principles, and issues. As in previous editions, the text thoroughly explores the historical, philosophical, psychological, and social context for the field; addresses the curriculum process and issues that influence it; and encourages readers to consider how new thinking impacts curriculum deliberations, development, and implementation.PART I: Foundations of Curriculum Chapter 1 The Field of Curriculum Chapter 2 Historical Foundations of Curriculum Chapter 3 Philosophical Foundations of Curriculum Chapter 4 Psychological Foundations of Curriculum Chapter 5 Social Foundations of Curriculum PART II: Principles of Curriculum Chapter 6: Curriculum Design Chapter 7: Curriculum Development Chapter 8: Curriculum Implementation Chapter 9:Curriculum Evaluation PART III: Issues of Curriculum Chapter 10: International Scenes in Education
