Coffey, Simon – Language Learning Journal, 2022
This article reflects on the epistemological steamrolling that the 2021 Ofsted Curriculum Research Review (OCRR) accomplishes: in part, by the positioning of the problem and solution through highly selective cherry-picking (omitting key causal factors); in part, through the discursive move of acknowledging complexity before offering simple and…

Suissa, Judith – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2008
Recent media reports about new programmes for "happiness lessons" in schools signal a welcome concern with children's well-being. However, as I shall argue, the presuppositions of the discourse in which many of these proposals are framed, and their orientation towards particular strands of positive psychology, involve ideas about human life that…

Minnich, Elizabeth Kamarck – Journal of General Education, 1997
Responds to Howley and Hartnett's article, which views the core curriculum at New York's Columbia College as an example of Lyotard's "grand narrative." Argues that the authors fail to note the negative effects of not considering other groups, such as women and minority groups, in a powerfully defining narrative. (AJL)
