This article analyses the changes in the science curriculum. The change process defines the curriculum as the engagements of learners with aspects of the environment which have been planned under the direction of the school. The targets for change are the components or determiners of the curriculum: teachers, students, subject matter, methods, materials and facilities, and time. Change takes place in the cultural context of the school; indeed it seems to be increasingly brought about by influences from the culture. Concern with the science curriculum was a national, state, and community concern stemming from a larger concern involving American-Soviet relations. Thus a condition of national insecurity resulted in pressures for curricular change in science. The Educational Development Center (EDC) has received monies from the following donors--the National Science Foundation, the Agency for International Development, the Ford Foundation, the Peace Corps, and the Office of Education. By January of 1968 EDC had 10 curriculum development projects in operation and several more in prospect. |
