Preferred term

AIDS education research  

Definition

  • Curriculum scholars must address acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) because of its enormous impact on human lives and because the competing representations of AIDS offer opportunities to redefine, in more exclusive or inclusive terms, what it means to be a citizen, a human, and a sexual being. AIDS curricula also offer lessons about the complexity of knowledge and the limits of commonsense curricular approaches. [Source: Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies; AIDS Education Research]
