What Counts as Knowledge in Educational Settings: Disciplinary Knowledge, Assessment, and Curriculum (Review of Research in Education)

This volume of Review of Research in Education provides readers with multiple interpretations of how changing views of knowledge across educational contexts shape curricular decisions, learning opportunities, and theories of teaching. The chapters situate various interpretations of knowledge in historical, political, and policy contexts and examine the relevance of these interpretations for education.
