In 1924, the Science Masters Association SMAMA) published a pamphlet concerning general science that included a syllabus, an approach that was originally taken by a publication entitled Science for All in 1916.
Though the syllabus promised to "approach every topic in this class as scientists" and the assigned readings were academic, the classroom discussion was Oprah-ish.
A main feature of this EOP-oriented course is that it does not rely on any one single approach to syllabus design, but takes an eclectic approach by drawing on elements from a task-based syllabus, a text-based syllabus, and a content-based syllabus for the design of the programme, types of syllabi which can be considered as more established and traditional ones.
Even though the topics are not part of the exam syllabus, Jones says the approach brings benefits beyond measurement.
