Description
This HED4802 Assignment 02 engages with two key themes in curriculum studies. In Question 1, it examines how the paradigms of positivism, interpretivism, critical theory, and post-structuralism shape curriculum aims, content selection, pedagogy, and assessment. The response unpacks how each paradigm views knowledge and applies it to schooling contexts with practical examples.
In Question 2, the assignment evaluates whether societal challenges like gender-based violence, climate change, and teenage pregnancy should be addressed in the curriculum. It explores issues of relevance, feasibility, and ethics, while also assessing the role of education in broader social transformation. Finally, it discusses the short- and long-term consequences of including or excluding societal issues from education.
This submission reflects critical thinking, alignment with curriculum goals, and a clear academic voice appropriate for postgraduate studies.
