From Professional Educational Values to the Satisfaction of Psychological Needs – A Sequence of Ideas

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Educational Futures: Rethinking Theory and Practice ((EDUFUT,volume 1))

Abstract

The origins of this paper lie in my observations of a set of departmental reviews presented by heads of department in one particular institution in the UK, and in subsequent discussions with some of those colleagues. Listening to them set out their passionate visions of curriculum prompted something akin to Baxter-Magolda’s (2004) idea of ‘moments of epistemological transformation’ (p. 31). What was particularly striking was hearing some of these department heads use a humanist language of care, in a very practical context, to describe and evaluate the instrumental notion of curriculum (which was the brief given to them for the review).
