Description
Fifth Edition Curriculum A Comprehensive Introduction John McNeil, University of California, Los Angeles "The material on selecting learning activities and planning instruction is especially interesting The section on qualitative research is timely and relevant On the basis of having taught curriculum theory for 2 years I consider it [the text] to be one of the best of its class." - Clifford A. Hardy, University of North Texas "I found the chapter on the Academic Subjects Curriculum to be improved and more valuable than ever." - E. John Kleinert, University of Miami "I think he [McNeil] has done a great deal of first-rate updating This is my present textbook (I've been using McNeil for years)." - John McLure, University of Iowa Curriculum offers a broad, comprehensive introduction to curriculum theory and practice, highlighting major philosophies and principles in the context of several conceptions of curriculum.
