Abstract
The paper presents a general description of curriculum studies made in sociology of education and comparative education in the past decade. It discusses what the author thinks are examples of general areas of this research, falling under the headings of (1) structural/functional studies; (2) studies in the ‘new’ sociology of education; and (3) ethnomethodological studies. The author argues that the first two areas take, as resources, items which need to be made topics of study. He further contends that ethnomethodology provides the most heuristic approach to curriculum studies because it makes the ontology of the curriculum and all its features problematic.
