Summary:

The purpose of this yearbook is to review continuing changes in curriculum and instruction in the arts and aesthetics. Curriculum design and development have changed. The seventies saw a decline in interest in how the curriculum was constructed. At both the Federal and State levels curriculum developers, and especially those in the arts, were no longer guided by the desire for a unified outcome but instead by a concern to provide individual choices for students. Further, the large long-term curriculum projects that were characteristic of the 1960's declined in the seventies and may be a thing of the past in the eighties. The articles in this yearbook address these and other issues in curriculum and instruction in the arts and aesthetics.

Abstract:

The purpose of this yearbook is to review continuing changes in curriculum and instruction in the arts and aesthetics. Curriculum design and development have changed. The seventies saw a decline in interest in how the curriculum was constructed. At both the Federal and State levels curriculum developers, and especially those in the arts, were no longer guided by the desire for a unified outcome but instead by a concern to provide individual choices for students. Further, the large long-term curriculum projects that were characteristic of the 1960's declined in the seventies and may be a thing of the past in the eighties. The articles in this yearbook address these and other issues in curriculum and instruction in the arts and aesthetics. A continuing dialogue between the arts and other disciplines is necessary for a current and ongoing research program. It is our hope that this volume serves that broad intellectual purpose.
