Definición

  • Social meliorism refers to a tradition in curriculum studies introduced and defined by Herbert Kliebard in his 1986 landmark publication, The Struggle for the American Curriculum. Kliebard describes four distinct interest groups of educational reformers from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries that were seeking to resolve the then-most basic dilemma of curriculum design and development: “what knowledge is of most worth.” These four groups were determining the purposes of education and were struggling for control of the curriculum in U.S. schools.
