WHY BALANCE? Knowledge in the National Curriculum proposals: Core subjects: Very high knowledge content specifications, long and detailed Progression
{"Image DocumentName": "WHY BALANCE? Knowledge in the National Curriculum proposals:", "Image ImageDescription": "Core subjects: Very high knowledge content specifications, long and detailed. Progression based on perceived logics, experience of typical learning sequences, and comparison with the ordering of knowledge in successful jurisdictions internationally. Obscure authorship and uneasy relationships with subject specialists. Other foundation subjects: High knowledge content specification, but very short and variable quality. Progression by key stage forsakes upper/lower KS2 opportunity. Variable in form and lacking common elements. Imbalanced emphases suggest significant stakeholder influence. Strange range of programmes of study. Why, in proposals for consultation, do we have: 184 pp altogether. 138 pp on KS1 and 2 core subjects. 15 pp on KS1 and 2 other foundation subjects. 31 pp on KS3 core and foundation subjects. Great contrast and variability too in D&T, PE, History, Computing, etc.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
