Organization of the Curriculum

THE BEST and most efficient way to select and organize the experiences which the school provides to children is a perennial question, open to constant scrutiny and discussion. It should also be a question subject to research. This chapter reviews the research of the last few years. Inasmuch as the June 1957 issue of the REVIEW dealt with curriculum planning and development, an effort has been made to avoid duplication. Research workers and students of curriculums are urged to supplement this discussion by reference to that issue.
