Ethnocentricity, Post Modernity and European Curricular Systems.
Overview & Synopsis
This paper addresses educational curricula and the European knowledge systems which they reflect based on social and cultural theories of modernity and postmodernity. Noting the Eurocentric nature of traditional and modernistic knowledge and school knowledge, an alternative postmodern and internationalist perspective on knowledge systems and curriculum planning is offered which values various knowledge and cultural systems.
