This course is an introduction to curriculum studies with particular attention to the shifting paradigms in the field beginning with reconceptualization, which took place in the 1970s. The aim of this course is to build a knowledge base in how the curriculum studies field moved from curriculum planning and development to curriculum theorizing and understanding. How this course prepares you for your CIES Capstone Project: One of the (CIES) Capstone Project options is for students to do a currere-style self-study research project. This course introduces students to the currere self-study method and major assignments in this course have students practice this method.
