Schubert, W. H. (2008). Curriculum inquiry. In F. M. Connelly, M. F. He, & J. Phillion (Eds.), The Sage Handbook of Curriculum and Instruction (pp. 399-419). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage


Intro

“In this chapter, curriculum inquiry is conceived as thought, study, and interpretation used to understand curriculum, which is characterized as experiential journeys that shape perspectives, dispositions, skills, and knowledge by which we live. Curriculum inquiry inevitably must consider a multitude of questions that have perplexed educators throughout history; for example, what is worthwhile, why, where, when, how and for whose benefit?”
