There are a number of different approaches to the study of curriculum, assessment and evaluation. In Curriculum and Assessment all of these approaches are investigated through their interrelationships or common 'storylines'. Using this method, the book explains what curriculum means to teachers
and students, as part of how and why learning happens, and in relation to the policies and assessment practices that arise from it. In view of the current reforms to curricula, and plans for the Australian National Curriculum, this is a timely text which provides students with the opportunity to
reflect upon their teaching skills in the context of the broader implications of curriculum for educators and policymakers alike.
