Abstract

The article discusses curriculum theory and curriculum language. It analyzes the theory presented in "Curricular Language and Classroom Meanings," a chapter by Dwayne Huebner from a book published by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD). The author emphasizes the importance for educators to avoid "self-confining schemas" of language, and explains five systems used in educational activity: technical, political, scientific, aesthetic, and ethical. He argues that these five fields should be explored in new ways to create new opportunities for educational growth.
