The Child-Centered Curriculum: Where Is the Social in Pedocentricism? 1 (1993)

(This invited talk was presented in February 1993, at the Lecture series sponsored by the Richmond Elementary Social Studies Association. Ted Aoki engages the logos, “The Child-Centered Curriculum,” attributed to Year 2000, to ask, “What is at work that allows us to speak of ‘child-centered curriculum?’” So … in-sited, Aoki appeals to the Richmond Elementary Social Studies teachers to loosen our seeming “hang-ups” for “centering” and for “self-centered individualism.” In so doing, he takes his cue from what Charles Taylor calls The Malaise of Modernity.)
