Metaphors of the Syllabus: Syllabus of Metaphors

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The syllabus—one of the most ubiquitous materials of schooling—is commonly overlooked and considered innocuous because of its mundane nature. However, the syllabus ought to be treated with more careful consideration because it is something that teachers make, and it actively shapes the educational postures of teachers and students and the educational experience. This article pays specific attention to the metaphors that are used to describe the syllabus and explores what impact these metaphors might have on education.
