"Readings in Curriculum: A Process Approach is an introductory readings text which is designed to assist students in a rational systematic study of curriculum. too often curriculum decisions are made without a sufficiently comprehensive view of the elements which are essential to the decision making process. In addition, decisions regarding currriculum are frequently made from emotional rather than rational bases. What is lacking is a well articulated and acceptable theory of curriculum development. In the absence of a generally accepted curriculum theory it becomes necessary for the curriculum worker to develop a personal model which he can use to diminish the emotional components of decision making and accentuate rational modes of operation. The purpose of this book, then, is to help prepare students to make more thoughtful curriculum decisions which can be defended rather than thoughtless emotional ones.". First Edition.
