Distributing Power through Curriculum Development
Abstract
This chapter explores how power can be distributed in the process of curriculum and program development in adult and higher education. As a theoretical framework, the author relies on Brookfield's writings on power and, in turn, Foucault's writing on power, which has had a strong influence on the thinking of adult education scholars. From there, she turns to practical strategies for distributing power through curriculum development. These include: learners' selection of topics, learners' setting of objectives, learners' selecting methods and materials, learner self-evaluation, equitable discussions, questioning styles, and structural issues. Finally, the author explores future directions for research.
