Product Description
A thorough exploration of the historical, philosophical, psychological, and social context for the field of curriculum, Curriculum: Foundations, Principles, and Issues addresses the curriculum process and issues that influence it and encourages readers to consider how new thinking impacts curriculum deliberation, development, and implementation. A more concise Fifth Edition provides both the student and the professor of curriculum with a comprehensive treatment of the field: curriculum foundations as well as the principles and procedures for conceptualizing, developing, implementing, and evaluating curriculum. As in previous editions, it provides solid coverage of the philosophical, historical, psychological, and social foundations of curriculum including recent research and thinking in these areas.

 A textbook with an attitude July 1, 2010
Elvin Ortiz
I read this book along with Oliva's and it is quite thorough. Other readers would wonder why read both. They kind of cover the same ground. However, I like that Ornstein makes distinctions between philosophies and educational philosophies. This chapter is broader in scope. Likewise, his history on education in America seems to cover a greater ground. There is another chapter on social background which Oliva does not have. In his discussion on curericulum designs, he includes backward design curriculums, while Oliva doesn't. This is important to me as a reader because I am strongly influenced by backward design, and there are several authors covering this type of design (Erickson, 2003, 2007; and Wiggins & McTighe, 2005). A big distinction between these two books, however, is that Ornstein's tone is critical. Oliva's is objective, as a newsreporter who is describing what is going on. Ornstein's is editorial, as a person who voices his perspective and describes history with a critical eye. I thought that wwas inmportant to this textbook.

I needed this book in a fairly quick timeline. I ordered the book on a sunday night, and I got the book on wednesday and started working on my assignment. I was never so sad to see my book! I hate the class!
 Very expensive, not well organized June 26, 2009

If I were picking a textbook in order to teach a course in curriculum, I would not pick this one. The layout and headings make almost no sense, and the subject matter is spread out in a way that requires great diligence to locate the information necessary to cover a question on the topic. It needs an editor.
 Just what the Dr. ordered! June 21, 2009

GReat item. Fast shipping and great condition. What else is there? Book is okay to read---very simplified look at curriculum, but for a student who has not had much instruction or experience in curriculum, it suits the purpose.

I am ejoying the book very much, it is a very insightful piece to my class. I was not happy about the service. When I purchased this book I decided to pay for faster shipping and did not get the book any faster! I was very unhappy!
