Constructing Knowledge: Curriculum Studies in Action24 Development and Evaluation

This book provides readers with important components and frameworks that underpin any successful curriculum based on its design, development, analysis and evaluation. Much has been written about successful curricula for/of the fourth/Fifth Industrial Revolution (4/5IR). The written work has been dominated by a contestation between content-driven approaches (professional needs) and outcomes-driven approaches (societal needs). The contestation between these approaches misses the production of conclusive curriculum components that underpin a successful digitalised curriculum for/of the 4/5IR. The contestation further misses a pragmatic curriculum, which is capable of addressing individual-unique needs. As such, this book concentrates on curriculum components that underpin a successful digitalised curriculum for/of the 4/5IR. It further discusses curriculum components for/of a pragmatic curriculum that harmonises between the two dominating approaches. Contributors are: Bongani Boy Dlamini, Reuben S.
