Abstract

Summary A total curriculum programme designed for the purpose of a general education for all has a number of distinctive features. These features are briefly outlined as a basis for a national framework for curriculum and assessment, from which the structuring of pupils’ choices is made clear. [1] The majority of this paper was presented to the Education section of the 139th meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science held at the University of Aston in Birmingham in September 1977. Some of the ideas were developed from the author's opening lecture to the 23rd National Conference of the Australian Science Teachers’ Association “Questions of Choice” held in Melbourne in May 1974, and subsequently published by the Association, the Australian Federal Government Department of Education and the State of New South Wales Department of Education.
