The Syllabus as Curriculum is a groundbreaking exploration of curriculum theory through the lens of the syllabus. In this comprehensive volume, author Rocha challenges the dominance of the social sciences in education and provides an integrated vision of philosophy of education and curriculum theory, rooted in the humanities.
Through an innovative reconceptualization, this text draws from a diverse range of sources, spanning from Classical Antiquity to the present, offering a rich context for understanding curriculum as a philosophically significant concept, encapsulated within the syllabus.
The Syllabus as Curriculum features actual syllabi crafted and taught by the author in undergraduate and graduate courses at the University of British Columbia, Canada. These curated syllabi serve as exemplars and media, supported by pedagogical commentary and context. Inspired by Augustine's Confessions, each part of the book culminates in a metaphorical garden, serving as a meditation on the syllabus in three senses: correspondence, essay, and outline.
This original, powerful, and corrective contribution to the literature on curriculum studies invites teachers and scholars from across the foundations of education, particularly philosophy of education, art education, and those engaged in curriculum theory, to see their contributions in more direct and integral ways.
The Syllabus as Curriculum offers a fresh perspective on curriculum theory, challenging the traditional boundaries and promoting a more holistic understanding of education. It is a valuable resource for educators, scholars, and anyone interested in shaping the future of education.
