Procedures of Power and Curriculum Change: Foucault and the Quest for Possibilities in Science Education

Procedures of Power and Curriculum Change: Foucault and the Quest for Possibilities in Science Education

James F. Brisson
0/5 ( ratings)
Is curriculum change possible? "Procedures of Power and Curriculum Change" provides a provocative new response to this question. Through a case study of a recent major attempt to change high school science, this work reveals the continuing barrenness of modernistic explanations of curriculum change. Revisiting this case study in the light of Foucault's concept of power suggests that curriculum change is not an issue of correct technique but a journey of being. An imaginative weaving of narratives, metaphors and allegory invites readers to join this journey by entering into a postmodern conversation about the possibilities for curriculum change.
