What does it mean to ‘make’ a curriculum?
Channel: SERA - Scottish Educational Research Association
Date: 2020-07-13

Professor Mark Priestley (University of Stirling) leads a presentation and subsequent discussion which will:

- Define curriculum as social practice, understood systemically across multiple sites of activity.
- Provide an overview of existing thinking/literature about curriculum levels.
- Introduce the conceptualisation of curriculum as social practice within different intertwined sites of activity.
- Consider the implications for curriculum making in Scotland, in the context of CfE and the forthcoming OECD review of the curriculum.

We hope that this discussion will provide a supportive space for teachers, researchers and other stakeholders to share practice and critically consider the implications of the discussions for their own context.
