Curriculum Co-Creation: Knowledge Co-Creation in an Educational Context

Abstract

One of the emerging areas is knowledge co-creation, and more specifically, in an educational context, curriculum co-creation. The ability to solicit feedback, reactions, suggestions, and improvements with regards to courses and educational programs from students is an interesting and promising one, but a concept which requires that existing norms and practices be put aside to allow students to share in the evaluation, revision, and design process, together with instructors and administrators. This paper examines the foundations of curriculum co-creation, including its educational theory foundations, critical variables and considerations, and a review of recent programs and initiatives. A framework of the key curriculum co-creation variables is presented, followed by suggestions for future research.
