Curriculum Ideology and Politics Construction from the Post-Modern on Curriculum of Doll

Abstract

: William E. Doll Jr. is the master of post-modern curriculum theory. Based on the curriculum concepts of openness, dialogue, reflection, experience and self-organization, he proposed 4R standards of curriculum, namely richness, recursion, relationality and rigor. The post-modern perspective on curriculum of Doll will bring new ideas and new perspectives to curriculum ideological and political. However, the post-modern perspective on curriculum has been criticized and questioned by many scholars. We should analyze the post-modern perspective on curriculum of Doll dialectically and absorb its reasonable components critically. In the process of curriculum ideological and political construction, we insist on combining preset goals with generative goals, combining closed content with open content, combining teaching with dialogue, and combining discriminative evaluation with developmental evaluation.
