UNIT 2- Educational Philosophies



Bhutanese have a unity of thought when it comes to GNH, as schools are considered one of the core places where children spend most of their waking hours compared to their home, it is important to educate and make them explore more. Therefore it is very important to infuse GNH into the school curriculum to understand its concept. Hence, it will fulfill the idea of wholesome education as well as wholesome personal development of an individual student.  I have learned that the GNH-infused curriculum aspires to facilitate a holistic education that would address some of the humanistic values we need in this era. I was surprised to know that non-teaching staff are also well-known to the concepts of GNH-infused curriculum. They are of the view that some students in college are well disciplined and respectful while some are not; it is not because some learned and some didn't, hence GNH in curricula helps to promote values in students' behavior. The lecturers and teachers who are currently pursuing M.Ed are also of the view that we have a deeper understanding of the GNH-infused curriculum.

The GNH-infused curriculum caters to students' understanding of our culture, regard and understanding of nature, and mindfulness as it assists in motivating students towards learning productively.

Some processes are cyclic, while others are linear and interrelated. The most interesting of the eight curriculum development models is Hilda Taba's Model because it is a teacher method model that begins with specific and progresses to general design. Students' needs are taken into consideration because this model believes that teachers are aware of students' needs, so students' needs are prioritized in the curriculum. Although it takes time and adds to the teacher's

UNIT 5- ELEMENTS OF CURRICULUM

  This reflection contains a quick summary of the lessons taught in the fifth unit-Curriculum Study. Overall, the lessons were instructive and helpful because they covered the major curricular topics that we as soon-to-be teachers need to be aware of. It is crucial for field-based teachers to be aware of the many curriculum components, how they relate to one another, and the advantages of designing an accurate and efficient curriculum. Learning the curriculum's components has improved my comprehension of purposes, aims, goals, and outcomes. I understood the aims, which are an extensive explanation of intentions expressed in straightforward language. I also understood that goals are derived from aims and provide an accurate and thorough picture of the program. After attending this session, we got an idea on how lessons can be planned with an appropriate aim, goal or an objective(s), which are very crucial to have an effective outcome at the end. The pedagogical approach objectives w
