- W649898244 abstract "The general theme is the experience of the Curriculum DevelopmentUnit as a case study in innovation in modern Irish education. Themain time span is 1972-1987. The approach is broadly historical.The story of the Curriculum Development Unit is told in the context ofwhat was happening in the Irish educational system during the periodin question and, more broadly, in the context of the political and socialdevelopment of contemporary Ireland. Against this background theUnit's experience is assessed - as an illustration of the influence ofcertain national events and also for the light that the development ofthe Unit itself can throw on these events.Two main research questions are addressed in the dissertation:What is the story underlying the Unit's efforts to institutionaliseitself?How may this story be told by one of the principal actors involved?The focus of the research is on the efforts to institutionalise theinnovative activities of the Unit. The main thesis is that this effort haslargely failed mainly because of the strong centralising tendencies inthe Irish system and the improbable nature of the Unit's sponsorship -a partnership between the local education authority, a university and aGovernment ministry. This is not to belittle the Unit's achievements;these perhaps have been all the more significant given the failure toinstitutionalise the Unit. The Unit may yet prove to be an interestingexample of a phenomenon that is in keeping with the late twentiethcentury - an ad hoc body with no guarantee of survival, whichmanages to exist and even prosper in situations where more stableorganisations are falling by the wayside." @default.
