The document discusses the foundations that influence curriculum development, including philosophical, psychological, sociological, economic, and historical foundations. It focuses on the sociological foundation, noting that societal structures, culture transmission, social problems, and economic issues need to be considered in curriculum making. Schools exist within the social context of society rather than apart from it, and the society influences the type of curriculum through its economic and political systems over time, shifting curriculums from basic skills and apprenticeships in agrarian societies to a factory model with compartments and direct teaching in industrial societies.
