Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies

We now have access to a wonderful online encyclopedia: Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies. You can search this encyclopedia using keywords or browse the list of entries or subject index.

Chosen as an Outstanding Title by Choice Reviews Online, the Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies contains over 500 alphabetically arranged articles on topics ranging from Academic Freedom to teacher educator Laura Zirbes.

These are just some of the topics that have caught my eye:

Adult Education Curriculum
Early Childhood Curriculum
Learning Theories
Narrative Research
Service-Learning Curriculum

The encyclopedia also includes several biographical essays on such individuals as Nel Noddings, Paulo Freire and John Dewey.

Take a look. As with most of the Library's online resources, this one is available off-campus, too!
