Engaging the Curriculum in Higher Education

Barnett and Coate, 2004

Overview

Despite increased investment and participation in higher education, the curriculum itself often remains absent from public discourse. This book addresses this gap, exploring how curricula are subtly shifting to equip students with marketable skills. This trend risks fragmenting knowledge and skills, potentially failing to meet the demands of the 21st century. The authors argue for curricula that prioritize the holistic development of students as human beings, fostering creativity and engagement.
