Abstract Details

2013, Master of Education (MEd), Bowling Green State University, Curriculum and Teaching.
This paper examines what drives curriculum in schools by looking at several different factors, including student creativity, student independence, teaching strategies, and the role of state proficiency and advanced placement testing in schools. I first took a historic perspective on the role of cultural and economic reproduction in school curriculum. In order to find out what currently drives curriculum in schools, I observed a northwest Ohio suburban high school to find out how students are taught through the direct curriculum and the null curriculum. The factors I used to help determine what currently lead curriculum of one suburban high school were student independence, student creativity, teaching strategies, negotiation, and state proficiency and advanced placement testing preparation. I observed how big a role, if any at all, state proficiency and advanced placement testing preparation impacted what teachers taught, and how that affected students' higher order thinking skills. I made inferences regarding how the curriculum the students at this high school were exposed to impacted their future careers.
