Paradigm Debates in Curriculum and Supervision

The book explores how paradigm debates within educational research, particularly in curriculum and supervision, shape educators' beliefs and practices. It highlights the impact of educators' views, such as a mechanistic approach to curriculum, which leads to rigid, objective-driven teaching methods. In supervision, autocratic leadership styles create hierarchical, compliance-focused environments, while modern perspectives advocate for more collaborative approaches. Postmodern theories challenge these norms, promoting authentic relationships and open communication among educators, students, and administrators.
