A Perspective on the Gap between Curriculum Theory and Practice.

Klein, M. Frances

Theory into Practice, v31 n3 p191-97 Sum 1992

Discusses the history of curriculum theory, reasons for the gap between theory and practice, and propositions for improving the relationship. Literature shows little progress in reducing the gap. Three movements may offer theorists and practitioners more curriculum control and reduce the gap: empowering teachers, professionalizing teaching, and restructuring schools. (SM)
