Curriculum Change within Policy and Practice: Reforming Second-Level Education in Ireland de Damian Murchan

Curriculum Change within Policy and Practice: Reforming Second-Level Education in Ireland

Editat de Damian Murchan, Keith Johnston
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 ian 2022
This book explores how curriculum reform is interconnected with policy, practice and society. Curriculum reform is increasingly associated with efforts to better the lives of citizens and provide a competitive edge to national prosperity. Educational policy and practice have been the subject of unprecedented convergence worldwide in the quest for so-called 21st century skills. This book offers a case study of curriculum reform within the Republic of Ireland, focusing on antecedents, processes and outcomes of government efforts to evoke fundamental curriculum realignment at lower secondary level. Set against a backdrop of fluctuating economic fortunes and concerns about academic standards and educational equity, this volume has wider relevance beyond Ireland for any system undertaking education reform at scale.
