Write a study paper addressing the topic, “What constitutes a significant development in Scotland?”Assignment Content
In recent years, there has been an emphasis on the power of asking “why?”. Understanding how curriculum has changed over the years shapes our perspective on “why” our curriculum is organized the way it is today. A study of the history of curriculum development provides context for our work in today’s curriculum design. In this assignment you are developing your analytical skills, exploring historical contexts, and applying your understanding to your current curriculum.
