Changes in curriculum learning goals

In this chapter, we first outline different strands of conceptualisations of curricula. They serve as the foundation for an overview of the function and content of rationales on research in higher education bachelor’s curricula across time and disciplines as well as related to actual research integration in changing curriculum rationales. Then we report the findings of a monitoring study focused on changes in the curriculum rationales of bachelor’s programmes in Amsterdam UAS during the Research into Education strategic programme. Findings are discussed in terms of different stakeholders who can be served by research integration and the curricula conceptualisations to which they relate.
