Abstract

Over the past few decades broad and deep changes in society have made themselves felt in a succession of curriculum reform movements. Changes in the fundamental technologies of society, in gender relations, in the ethnic, national, linguistic and religious composition of populations sharing the same geo-political space, changes in personal and social values, in mobility across space, in rapidity of communication across great distances, and, not least, in the nature and patterns of work, have found their way into claims that schooling should ‘reflect’ new realities.
