Change in the school curriculum: Looking to the future

This chapter describes the multiple meanings of curriculum and the changing way the school curriculum has been conceptualised over time. International and local influences on curriculum are discussed, as is the changing focus of curriculum in terms of content and process. A number of curriculum development models are outlined and the role research plays within this development process is explored. Finally, future possibilities for curriculum are highlighted.
