In this paper we suggest that the answer to the problem is more likely to lie in the way that the curriculum is built from a careful analysis of the actual outcomes of learning. We briefly outline three projects that are based on this supposition, describing the theoretical underpinnings and the main features of the projects.http://www.jsse.org/2006/2006-4/pdf/davies-dunnill-disciplines.pdfThreshold conceptslearning studyargument
