Stenhouse saw curriculum as both what a

school (or teacher)intends to do, and what
it actually does.

He takes it as given that there will always

be a gap between intent and delivery, so
understanding a given curriculum requires
awareness of both what we're setting out to
do and what we're actually doing.

Content
(information to be learned, which you can
pre-specify and test with a multiple choice
test)

Skills
(recognizing letters and words, writing a
three-paragraph essay, solving mathematical
problems, which you can also pre-specify),

Knowledge
(using what you've learned to solve
problems or meet challenges in some
unexpected way that can't be fully prespecified; an essay question at it's best, a
scientific, artistic or community project).

He thought that educational thinking and

theory often fell short by confusing content
and skills, which can be pre-specified, with
knowledge, which cannot.

Stenhouse can help us to remember that

there are domains of education that
connect with potentialities of human nature
that lie far beyond these meager models of
what learning and knowledge are about.

"A curriculum is an attempt to communicate

the essential principles and features of an
educational proposal in such a form that it is
open to critical scrutiny and capable of
effective translation into practice"
(Stenhouse, 1975)

Lawrence Stenhouse (1926-1982)

developed the process model of curriculum

The process approach concentrates on the

active role of the learner in how to use the
gained knowledge and ideas

Learners should be allowed to find out and

explore subjects at their own pace

Suggests that a curriculum is rather like a

recipe in cookery

Stenhouse states that curriculum should

have the following components:

* Principles for planning curriculumcontent,

teaching strategies and sequencing
* Principles for researching curriculum
* Justification of the curriculum.
