{"title":"Locality and the Curriculum: Towards a Positive Critique.","authors":"M. Saunders","doi":"10.1080/0305006790150210","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0305006790150210","url":null,"abstract":"The relationship between the social world outside school and the school curriculum has been interpreted by sociologists in terms of a hidden structure. They emphasise the way in which the curriculum contributes to the 'institutional sifting' carried out by the schooling process (see, e.g. Bourdieu & Passeron, 1977). This sifting process involves the allocation and distribution of curricula with assessment systems of differing significance (some have qualifications attached, others do not), and the differential susceptibility to the curriculum format between pupils of different social classes. In this way, the relationship between types of curricula and the reproduction of a particular social structure has become the focus. The manner in which this relationship is conceptualised suggests no particular reference to society or the locality in the form of curriculum content. Thus, the relation between society and the curriculum has been analysed in terms of its systemic effects, concerned, for example, with the interactions between pupils, teachers and the curriculum and the effects of this process on the future life chances, culture and class position of the pupils and the configuration of curriculum forms in particular social structures. There is, however, a different level of relation between the curriculum and the social world. It takes the form of the entry into the school curriculum of aspects of society as curriculum content. By this I do not mean the abstract forms of theories about the world found in sociology or civics text-books, but social practice or the phenomenological world itself. The social world that is most readily available is that which constitutes and surrounds the school, in other words, the social practice and physical environment of the immediate locality. Little attention has been given to the significance of the entry of aspects of the locality into the curriculum, i.e. its significance to the systemic relations between the curriculum and the social structure. This paper will be concerned with the different forms in which aspects of the locality, constituted by economic, political, social and cultural practice and the physical environment, have entered the curriculum. In many cases this has involved a restructuring of teachers' attitudes, school time, space and resources and has necessarily involved activities which are not confined to the classroom or, indeed, the school grounds. It would, however, be mistaken (in my view) to impute conceptual unity between the diverse ways in which aspects of the locality have entered curriculum practice; a typology, for example, may serve only to establish a vocabulary by which teachers can distinguish both the common ground and the differences between the various approaches to curriculum development, both in the Third World and in Western capitalist countries which claim or imply an explicit link with the locality. I shall refer to curriculum forms which are explicity concerned with as","PeriodicalId":44462,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN SCHOLAR","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84850709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Goethe, then seventy-eight, looked attentively at the landscape and remarked, in passing, that nature is always filled with good intentions, but one had to admit it nature is not always beautiful. By way of illustration, the master then began a disquisition on the oak. Sometimes an oak, crowded by other trees, grows high and thin, spends its freshest powers \"making it\" to air and sunshine, and ends up with an overblown crown on a thin body. Then there is the oak that springs up in moist and marshy soil. Overindulged and squat, it is nourished too quickly into an indented, stubborn obesity. Its unfortunate brother may lodge in poor, stony soil on a mountain slope; lacking free development, it becomes knotty and gnarled. Such trees, Goethe said, can hardly be called beautiful at least they are not beautiful as oak trees. Then Goethe described to the recording Eckermann the perfect oak. It grows in sandy soil, where it spreads its roots comfortably in every direction; it needs space in which to feel on all sides the effects of sun, wind, rain, light. \"If it grows up snugly sheltered from wind and weather,\" said Goethe, \"it becomes nothing. But a century's struggle with the elements makes it strong and powerful, so that, at its full growth, its presence inspires us with astonishment and admiration.\"","PeriodicalId":44462,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN SCHOLAR","volume":"1996 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88123917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The moment did not last long, owing in part to a failure of men and institutions in the United States itself. We were not prepared to make the commitment that would have made possible some practical consequences of this extraordinary, if unfocused and fleeting, consensus.
