spiral curriculum
definition: The spiral curriculum is a key feature of the curriculum design process popularized through Jerome Bruner's post-Sputnik classic, The Process of Education. Although John Dewey wrote of a similar principle, his notion of spiraling focused on the learner's experience and the interrelated-ness of all areas of knowledge.
