Transformative Curriculum Studies
A Theoretical and Practical Approach
By Dr. Eunice Nduta Maina
Overview
A rigorous synthesis of curriculum theory and classroom practice, this volume equips scholars and practitioners with frameworks for designing curricula that are responsive, inclusive, and rooted in evidence.
Abstract
Transformative Curriculum Studies engages the enduring questions of what should be taught, why, and how. Drawing on decades of teaching and mentorship, the book weaves theoretical traditions in curriculum studies with grounded case material from classrooms and institutions. It argues that transformation begins with disciplined attention to context — learners, communities, and the epistemic commitments that shape knowledge — and offers a practical architecture for designing, implementing, and evaluating curricula that advance both academic excellence and social good.
