1944-624: A group is reciprocal, with the formation of its individual participants. Although it formally appeared in Bobbitt's definition , curriculum as a course of formative experience also pervades the work of John Dewey (1859–1952), who disagreed with Bobbitt on important matters.

TASPs also advocate
