The goal of the research was to find out how the national craft curricula have evolved during citizen and basic school and how the newest 2014 curriculum posits itself in this historical continuum. The previous literature has mostly focused on time-scales of few curricula, and the longer-scale historical development has not been studied at length. The previous research has focused on themes risen by two separate craft subjects, textile craft and sloyd. My research strives to distill many themes of previous studies into a greater whole. The research is qualitative study and its method is descriptive literary survey. The literature is mostly about newest publications in craft science, pedagogics and sloyd education. Based on this research, the curricula of comprehensive school has developed craft curricula from product-centred to more holistic and process-centric, gave more focus to students' own interest and free choice, and finally in 2010's changed into more gender-neutral form. Craft teaching goals were also developed from gender-based production and maintenance skills of poor citizens into working-class consumer skills. Since 1990's, the curriculum emphasizes stresses hobby and lifestyle themes, creativity, technological understanding and project and design skills.
