University of Chicago Collective of Curriculum Professors  

Definition

  • The department of education at the University of Chicago has been the intellectual home for a variety of influential voices in curriculum studies, historically ranging from the work of John Dewey at the University Laboratory School through to the scholarship of Phillip Jackson in the 1990s and theoretically ranging from the science of education of Charles Judd to the human relations approach of Herbert Thelen. In addition, the University of Chicago was the base for classical liberal arts proposals of Robert Maynard Hutchins, Mortimer Adler, and the sharp criticisms of higher education and popular culture by Allan Bloom.
