Abstract

This article reviews a collection of papers written by the American Educational Research Association's first 50 presidents that deal specifically with curricular issues. It characterizes the ways in which curricula were conceptualized, implemented, and assessed, with an eye toward the epistemological and methodological framings that the authors brought to bear. The analysis reveals interesting lines of continuity as well as significant changes from 1916 until now, the Association's centennial anniversary.
