Thesis (Ed.D.)--Oklahoma State University, 1994.

Scope and method of study. This critical historical study examined the themes, formats, and subject matter of 16 elementary curriculum synoptic texts written over a period of 40 years from 1953 to 1993, in order to determine how the present texts differ from their historical predecessors and whether or not they meet the requirements of current calls for reform and theocratical understanding of human development. The methodology of the study utilized textual analysis which combined some elements of both hermeneutic and poststructural theory. The texts were analyzed individually and then compared to each other historically and thematically to provide a historical context in which to discuss the present state of elementary curriculum synoptic texts.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Scope and method of study. This critical historical study examined the themes, formats, and subject matter of 16 elementary curriculum synoptic texts written over a period of 40 years from 1953 to 1993, in order to determine how the present texts differ from their historical predecessors and whether or not they meet the requirements of current calls for reform and theocratical understanding of human development. The methodology of the study utilized textual analysis which combined some elements of both hermeneutic and poststructural theory. The texts were analyzed individually and then compared to each other historically and thematically to provide a historical context in which to discuss the present state of elementary curriculum synoptic texts.
520 $a Findings and conclusions. Analysis of the texts identified several major similarities across the 40 year span in both content and design of all but one of the texts. The texts without exception purported to follow a child centered curriculum dedicated to ensuring development of free individuals capable of thriving in a democratic society. Fourteen of the texts relied on a format which separated subject areas into six basic categories: language arts, math, science, social studies, health, and art. Without exception, despite their claims to the contrary, the texts presented the curriculum as a closed system--something preestablished with concrete inputs and expected outputs. Texts designed to train teachers to view children and education as closed systems, rejects most of the current understanding of human beings as open, nonpredictable, evolving beings, as seen in the work of Piaget, Dewey, Doll, and many others. There is a need in the field for a new text which views humans as growing and thriving individuals rather than resources to be developed into products.
