[Register Now] II European Conference on Curriculum Studies (ECCS 2015)

The II European Conference on Curriculum Studies (ECCS 2015) will take place at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Porto, Portugal on October 16-17, 2015.

Purpose:

The conference will explore three axes and their articulation, as they define research in the curriculum field. Trends that shape current European curriculum studies emerge from economic crisis as much as they emerge from a re-stating movement concerning education improvement. Curriculum academics must analyse in a broad scope the new entanglements to policies, perspectives and practices on the curriculum field. The II ECCS is the arena for this challenge. English is the official language of the Conference.
