Joseph Schwab
Definition
- Joseph Schwab's major contribution to curriculum studies is the concept of “the Practical,” a unique orientation based on educational commonplaces coordinated by traditional problem-solving methods that use arts of the eclectic for modifying and coordinating competing theories to formulate and teach curriculum. From 1969 until 1988, Schwab wrote six articles, beginning with his scathing attack in Practical 1 on the ineffectual state of the curriculum field because of overreli-ance on limiting theories, often drawn from statistically based social sciences models.
