Description
Paulo Freire and the Curriculum by Georgios Grollios, Henry A. Giroux, Panayota Gounari, and Donaldo Macedo provides a necessary framework for understanding the relevance of Freire's progressive contributions to curriculum planning in today's educational landscape. Freire's perspective on curriculum planning challenges traditional views that prioritize social efficiency and technical character over social, political, and ideological conflicts. In contrast, Freire offers a fertile ground for teachers and educators seeking to transform schools and improve student learning and lives. This book explores the historical development of Freire's perspective, its comparison to other approaches, and its contemporary value, providing a nuanced understanding of the ways in which curriculum planning can be used to promote social change and improve educational outcomes.
