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.

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 were one of the curriculum's elements that we looked at in the first semester and used in our microteaching. This also have been very useful during SITP.

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
