The purpose of this study is to understand Bruner`s curriculum theory since the theory of the structure of knowledge in order to enrich its nature and to explore and to interpret an difference between them. The analysis on the theory in this study focuses on the developmental theory, the new epistemology, and the narrative construal of reality. The Bruner`s theory is analysed in the spirit of the nature curriculum theory, the structure of knowledge and narrative interpretation, curriculum content and the spiral curriculum, and a subject construction and pedagogy on the basis of three focuses. This leads me to construct and creat a cruuiculum theory as cultural expression. Bruner`s curriculum theory based on the culturalism includes a new look on cultrue human development and narrative realities. The cultural-psychological approach on curriculum theory provide a interpretive basis of the theory of the structure of knowledge. The difference between the theory of the structure of knowledge and cultural approach should be analysed and interpreted in the context of cultural experssion as a structure for organizing human experience and knowledge.
