Some contexts and issues discussed include: * what knowledge is most worthwhile in the modern world and whether it can be encapsulated in curricula * global and local demands on the knowledge, skills, values and beliefs in curricula in different types of educational contexts * balancing the conflicting needs of individuals, groups, society and the environment * constructing and sequencing curriculum components and resource materials to suit different kinds of learners * evaluating curriculum, learners and teachers.
