N2 - The formal concept of traditional curriculum theory is relatively new, developing principally in the second half of the 20th century; although, despite this, it has had a significant impact upon the planning and teaching of all law units, including revenue or taxation units. There appears to be an endless continuum of models for the design and implementation of a curriculum. However, the emphasis of this article is on providing a synthesis of the ideas in order to approach the questions of the difficulties associated with using each of the different methodologies and which may be the most appropriate method of delivery for the teaching of taxation law. Specific reference is made to the offerings of units at the University of Western Sydney (UWS) to illustrate these points.
