School subjects and the pursuit of truth | RFTRW: S07E02
25 January 2021
This episode explores the debate around school curriculums and the value and nature of the knowledge that is gained by learners.
Dr Keri Wong is joined by Dr Alex Standish to discuss the relationship between disciplinary knowledge and school subjects in the curriculum, which is also a key focus in a book he has co-edited, 鈥淲hat Should Schools Teach? Disciplines, subjects and the pursuit of truth鈥, part of the 鈥淜nowledge and the Curriculum鈥 series published by 香港六合彩中特网 Press.
As a lecturer in Geography Education, we also hear Dr Standish's views about the subject鈥檚 epistemology and given current global events, why gaining a deeper appreciation of it really matters right now.
