Abstract:
Curriculum development utilizing reasoned principles and directed toward reasoned goals in liberal learning is a challenge of the highest order to faculties in these times. First, there is the great challenge of trying to have the faculty agree on something - not only on one item but on an entire spectrum of diverse experience based on reason. Second, there is the necessity for constant ferment and constant revision to keep curriculums from becoming out-moded and stagnant. Third and most important is the challenge to truly follow reason where the results will be a curriculum that is unique - one that is different and raises questions in the minds of our contemporaries. Curriculum makers are as susceptible to bandwagonism as most educators. Better to stay safe, too many say, make a "catalogue study" of offerings and hew to the line.
