Unit 6: Curriculum Design
A core element of how we teach, train, and participate in formal learning experiences is curriculum design. This course familiarized us with a variety of curriculum designs, including activity-based, subject-centered, balanced, integrated, broad field, child-centered, problem-centered, and core curriculum.
An integrated design of the curriculum is one that connects diverse areas of study by cutting across subject lines and emphasizing unifying principles. The goal of integration is to help students make connections so they can participate in activities that are pertinent to their lives. The aim of an integrated curriculum is to link academic theory to practical, real-world knowledge and experiences.
The most intriguing curriculum design, in my opinion, is a balanced one. It focuses on a child's overall growth while maintaining harmony across the five domains of development, which encompass a variety of educational needs as well as social demands such as morals and values. Additionally, this design is in line with the goals of the Bhutan Baccalaureate, which place an emphasis on a person's overall development in order to create a responsible, contributing citizen. Children receive the knowledge, skills, and understanding they need to grow into well-rounded adults from a broad and balanced curriculum.
The least interesting design I found is the subject-centered curriculum design. Subject-centered learning does not provide a wide range of options that take into account students' varying learning styles, and familial circumstances that may affect their ability to learn. Regardless of the needs of certain students or classes, the material is covered and remains constant.
