Procedures of Power and Curriculum Change: Focault and the Quest for Possibilities in Science Education

Editorial Reviews
Terry Carson, University of Alberta, Canada
David Blades has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the politics of curriculum change. Using Foucault's concept of power, he points out the way power circulated through an abortive effort to change a provincial secondary school science curriculum. Rather than despairing of possibilities for meaningful change, Dr. Blades employs an imaginative text to narrate new possibilities for teachers, students, and policy makers. This is groundbreaking work.

Peter Fensham, Monash University, Australia
David Blades, in Procedures of Power and Curriculum Change, has captured the complexity and ambiguity of curriculum decision making in senior school science in a fascinating and illuminative way.
