Suggestions were made many times concerning the view that educational content must be centered on the structure of each teaching subject, and furthermore, that the course of studies of each subject must conform to the structure of each subject. However, several problems remain to be examined in this connection.Bruner maintains that the aim of education is the transmission and creation of culture and he directs his attention exclusively to the efficient skill and method by which this aim can be secured. Of course, these are also important factors, and the reputation of Bruner rests on the results of his research conducted along these lines. However, the problem facing educational curriculum since the beginning of the twentieth century has been precisely the realization that the transmission of culture as culture has not necessarily produced the ability to cope successfully with the problems posed by social life.Even the concept “Structure of a Subject” as such is not quite clear. The relation between the structure of a subject and the structure of a discipline and in addition, the structure of a discipline as such need de further examined.To take into account the structure of a subject in teaching little children implies taking a positive view on readiness. Here lies the value of Brvner. His research concerning skill and method, and skill and planning in teaching the structure of a subject under these suppositions deserves great attention.
