Towards a Method for Comparing Curricula
Greatorex, Jackie; Rushton, Nicky; Coleman, Tori; Darlington, Ellie; Elliott, Gill
Cambridge Assessment
A curriculum map is a visualisation of relationships within and between a curriculum or curricula. Curriculum mapping refers to the method for creating and using the curriculum map, however this term is used broadly and encompasses a variety of methodological approaches. Often, researchers in the field of curriculum studies conduct curriculum mapping specifically to compare two or more curricula using documentary evidence. There is a paucity of literature articulating how to conduct curriculum mapping that is replicable. Therefore, our article draws on current literature as well as our personal experiences in order to construct a methodological approach for making such comparisons. To begin, the concept of curriculum mapping will be explained. Next, the key stages of the curriculum mapping process will be discussed. Finally, the benefits and limitations of this method will be explored.
