Chapter 3: Aep and the Decline of Curriculum and Teaching in an Age of Techne: Have Seen the Enemy and He is Us

This chapter examines CAEP documents and particularly the Standards to discover implications for their acceptance. Second, the argument is made that CAEP is built on unrealistic views of teaching and curriculum as techne, how-to knowledge, that could reduce graduate programs to largely dehumanized, narrow technique. Finally, it seems time for faculty members themselves to take responsibility and action.
