This assignment asks students to write a position paper about the evolution of curricular development through the lens of educational research and practice over time. The paper should articulate and critique important historical and philosophical paradigms, explain how the concept underlying the students position applies in real-world contexts, and ground the argument in a socio-political context that demonstrates a controversial position on the topic. Students are instructed to begin with a boldfaced thesis statement and historical framing, then discuss the conceptual position and its evolution in the literature and in practice, and finally articulate a position related to their own informed belief system. The paper should be 67 pages, double-spaced, 12-point font excluding references, should avoid bullets and lists, should include subheadings, and must follow APA style. Students are also told to send their position and thesis statements to the instructor for approval before beginning the paper.
