The Oxford Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies addresses the central curriculum studies question: What is worthwhile? In other words, what is worth needing, knowing, experiencing, doing, being, becoming, overcoming, contributing, sharing, imagining, wondering, and improving? The Encyclopedia's 100+ long-form overview articles show that this pertains to matters of why, where, when, how, and for whom, as well as who benefits and who does not.
Emphatically, it involves concerted effort to strive for inclusivity relative to race, gender, class, ability, ethnicity, beliefs, and orientations to ways of being and knowing. Thus, Curriculum Studies relates to both schooling and ways that all socio-cultural dimensions of the world contribute to ways humans think and act.
The Oxford Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies is the most comprehensive resource available on this subject, and an essential reference for any student or scholar engaged in the field of education research.
