Description
This freestanding online module aims to deepen your understanding of the different approaches to Curriculum, linking these to relevant policy, and always relating back to your own professional practice where possible. We also explore the underlying theoretical concepts in the field. The module rejects the idea that the curriculum is something to be delivered, but instead we aim to promote the development of students as curriculum thinkers, with an international perspective.听听
