This text puts forward a novel view of the school curriculum as a preparation for the 21st century. The author argues that not only are subject knowledge, skills and development of personal qualities important, but that the teaching and learning themselves are a central part of the curriculum. Ted Wragg's view of the curriculum is a three dimensional cube, with subject matter, cross curricular issues like language and thought, and teaching methods all interlocked. The volume also analyzes overarching themes such as aesthetic, language and social development, and explores different styles of teaching and learning, like discovery, didactic and group teaching.
