This course develops the theoretical perspectives presented in Introduction to Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDU1010) and deals with current initiatives in curriculum design, particularly the move to outcomes-based curriculum, and the pedagogical implications of contemporary ideas of knowledge, its construction and practice.
