The education of intending primary school teachers in England and Wales has increased the amount of academic subject specialist study in response to governmental pressure. (Primary means children between 7 and 11 years.) This paper seeks to show that the Department of Education and Science's (DES) requirement of initial teacher training courses at primary level that it should include the application of subject study to the learning and developmental needs of young children is problematical, begging questions of ideology, epistemology, psychology and curriculum organisation. An attempt to meet the DES requirement is made through the adoption of two models of subject study and their application to young children ; their implications for subject study at the level of higher education are drawn. Content and pedagogy are examined in the light of the two models. The suggestion is examined that together they constitute analytical tools to examine subject study at primary school and higher education level. A broadly based spiral curriculum is outlined which embraces attitudes, personal development and the involvement of the whole personality; implications of this view for pedagogy are suggested. The provision of stimulating subject environments is matched by the careful use of teachers as facilitators in developing subject awareness.
