A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2012!Critical Curriculum Studiesoffers a novel framework for thinking about how curriculum relates to students' understanding of the world around them.

Making use of the work of important scholars such as Freire, Vygotsky, Hartsock, Harding, and others, Critical Curriculum Studies, argues that we must understand the relationship between the curriculum and the types of consciousness we carry out into the world. | Critical Curriculum Studies by Wayne Au, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
