Primary Education in Ireland, 1897-1990

Primary Education in Ireland, 1897-1990
By:Thomas Walsh
Published on 2012 by Peter Lang Pub Incorporated

This book critically examines the context, origins, development and implementation of successive primary school curricula in Ireland between 1897 and 1990. It focuses on three particular policy changes during the period: the <I\u003eRevised Programme of Instruction introduced in 1900, the curricular provisions implemented following the achievement of independence in the 1920s and the <I\u003ePrimary School Curriculum of 1971. These three eras are distinctive by virtue of their philosophy of education, the content of the curriculum, the methodologies employed and the concept of the child inherent in the curriculum. The author analyses curricular changes within the complex web of wider educational and societal factors that influenced their devising and implementation.<BR\u003e In this way, he locates curricular developments within the climate of thought from which these policies emerged. The philosophy and ideology underpinning successive curricula are examined, along with the successes and shortcomings of curriculum implementation in each period. This historical analysis of the evolution of the primary curriculum in Ireland has much to offer researchers and policymakers in the contemporary context, amid ongoing curriculum development.
