Toward a Curriculum Theory - ASCD
Q ~ =~=` =q ROBERT C. MORRIS* RUSSELL HAMM"A real value of curricular Theory lies not in the specificity of it, but in the questions it proliferates."MlUCH confusion exists as to what Curriculum Theory is. Part of this con fusion grows out of the all too common assumption among many educators that there is a Curriculum Theory . There is no one Curriculum Theory : there are a multi plicity of Curriculum theories some very explicit, some implied all of which have their addition, there is no one Curriculum Theory that is better than all of the others. A school district or a department of a school may have developed a Curriculum Theory which was reached through consensus, im position, or a variety of means, which seems to be right for them. But this must be made clear: Curriculum Theory is laden with the normative. Even after a Curriculum Theory is asserted, the underlying assumptions are still there whether recognized or addition, Curriculum Theory is con fused with learning Theory and instructional Theory , even administrative Theory ; and ad mittedly, although these are not mutually exclusive theoretical categories, each has distinctive , then, are the major character istics of Curriculum Theory ?
