CURRICULUM Scotland 1820 Currere – to run- course of study Amorphous hence a variety of

the hands of the artist (teacher) to mould his material (pupils) according to his ideas (aims and objectives) in his studio (school)”.
FIVE CONCEPTS- WILLIAM DOLL
Curriculum
Conversation
Community
Cosmology
Complexity
Currere
Complex web of interactions. Rather than a linear course to be run. Community is the “cement” holding
together the other elements It allows currere to interact with life. That interaction is key to the process of
curriculum. Curriculum cannot occur in a vacuum, as
any teacher understands. Community enables a student’s
experience to be reconstructed.
Cosmology: simplistic view of a stable universe has been found to be inadequate.
Complexity is the nature of Nature. Plans arise from action and are
modified through actions
