Curriculum Conceptions

Several theoretical frameworks have been proposed for designing or adapting curriculum. Curriculum experts like Eisner and Vallance (1974) and Giroux, Penna, and Pinar (1981) have critically analysed these different conceptions of curriculum. McNeil (2006) categorized different conceptions of curriculum in to following four groups:

  1. Humanistic Curriculum
  2. Social Reconstructionist Curriculum
  3. Systemic Curriculum
  4. Academic Curriculum
