This review is from: Curriculum Planning: A Contemporary Approach (7th Edition) (Paperback)
Holy sweet Jesus this book is terrible. First allow me to sum up what's being paid for: Journal Articles that are available online at many libraries. The actual content of the book is rather sparse; chapter 4 has 5 pages about learning styles before the articles begin. The articles are loosely tied to the chapter theme, but overall provide little cohesive content. Pompous Education professors love this book because it satisfies the most basic tenant of educational training: It is absolutely useless to the vast majority of educators.

Curriculum Planning: A Contemporary Approach,
By
This review is from: Curriculum Planning: A Contemporary Approach (7th Edition) (Paperback)
Part I contains six chapters about the bases and criteria for the curriculum including goals and values, social forces, human development, learning and learning styles, the nature of knowledge, and curriculum criteria. Part II contains four chapters about the curriculum including education for children, early adolescents, middle adolescents, and late adolescents and adults including senior learners. Each of the first six chapters begin with focus questions, key points, criterion questions, and references followed by contributed short selections that included questions for reflection. The last four chapters begin with focus questions, developmental aspects and goals for that age group, and references followed by contributed related selections. Each chapter ends with learning activities, critical thinking, application activities, field experiences, internet activities and books and articles to review. The book is both theoretical and practical and should be useful for anyone developing curriculum for any age group.
