Meanings and Qualitative Methods: Studying Curriculum Through Content Analysis

We will study the what and how of curricular content analysis-the process of identifying trends in teaching and learning by looking at primary documents like hundred-year old exams, math textbooks, lessons on Pinterest, or high school book lists. You'll learn about curricula from published content analyses and then build your own in a domain that interests you. You will find artifacts for study, practice qualitative analysis, create data visualizations, and make connections between conceptual assumptions, methods, and findings.
