Activity 4.1
In an essay form of ten sentences, compare and contrast traditional from progressive
point of view of the curriculum.

 Curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content taught in a school. We have
traditional curriculum and progressive curriculum. The differences between the two
are that in traditional curriculum, the teachers still focuses on traditional way of
teaching. The strategies they used are old and common like the lecture method and
memorization. Teachers are also the sources of information and authority. While
in progressive curriculum, learning is a progression. It develops the teachers to have
new teaching strategies that can be very useful in shaping learners holistically.
Teachers also act as facilitators and learners as active participants in the teaching
learning process. 

But despite of their differences, traditional and progressive curriculum have

similarities like focusing on students learning through the teacher`s capability and
providing quality education for all.
