CURRICULUM THEORY, DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT IN EDUCATION

ACTIVITY 1

1. What is the importance of curriculum design in teaching and learning?

Answer:
Curriculum design is a term used to describe the purposeful, deliberate, and
systematic organization of curriculum (instructional blocks) within a class or course. In
other words, it is a way for teachers to plan instruction. When teachers design
curriculum, they identify what will be done, who will do it, and what schedule to follow.
Teachers design each curriculum with a specific educational purpose in mind. The
ultimate goal is to improve student learning, but there are other reasons to employ
curriculum design as well. For example, designing a curriculum for middle school students
with both elementary and high school curricula in mind helps to make sure that learning
goals are aligned and complement each other from one stage to the next. If a middle
school curriculum is designed without taking prior knowledge from elementary school or
future learning in high school into account it can create real problems for the students.

Types of Curriculum Design

Subject-Centered Curriculum Design
Subject-centered curriculum design revolves around a particular subject matter or
discipline. For example, a subject-centered curriculum may focus on math or biology. This
type of curriculum design tends to focus on the subject rather than the individual. It is the
most common type of curriculum used in K-12 public schools in states and local districts
in the United States.

Subject-centered curriculum design describes what needs to be studied and how

it should be studied. Core curriculum is an example of a subject-centered design that can
be standardized across schools, states, and the country as a whole. In standardized core
curricula, teachers are provided a predetermined list of things that they need to teach
their students, along with specific examples of how these things should be taught. You
can also find subject-centered designs in large college classes in which teachers focus on
a particular subject or discipline.

The primary drawback of subject-centered curriculum design is that it is not

student-centered. In particular, this form of curriculum design is constructed without
taking into account the specific learning styles of the students. This can cause problems
with student engagement and motivation and may even cause students to fall behind in
class.

Learner-Centered Curriculum Design

In contrast, learner-centered curriculum design takes each individual's needs,
interests, and goals into consideration. In other words, it acknowledges that students are
not uniform and adjust to those student needs. Learner-centered curriculum design is
meant to empower learners and allow them to shape their education through choices.

Instructional plans in a learner-centered curriculum are differentiated, giving

students the opportunity to choose assignments, learning experiences or activities. This
can motivate students and help them stay engaged in the material that they are learning.

The drawback to this form of curriculum design is that it is labor-intensive.

Developing differentiated instruction puts pressure on the teacher to create instruction
and/or find materials that are conducive to each student's learning needs. Teachers may
not have the time or may lack the experience or skills to create such a plan. Learner-
centered curriculum design also requires that teachers balance student wants and
interests with student needs and required outcomes, which is not an easy balance to
obtain.

Problem-Centered Curriculum Design

Like learner-centered curriculum design, problem-centered curriculum design is
also a form of student-centered design. Problem-centered curricula focus on teaching
students how to look at a problem and come up with a solution to the problem. Students
are thus exposed to real-life issues, which helps them develop skills that are transferable
to the real world.

Problem-centered curriculum design increases the relevance of the curriculum

and allows students to be creative and innovate as they are learning. The drawback to
this form of curriculum design is that it does not always take learning styles into
consideration.

2. What are the factors contributing to effective learning? Based on those factors, assess
yourself, how prepared are you in the conduct of face to face classes? What are the
preparations you have made already? What else do you need to do?
Answer:
The process of learning is influenced by a variety of personal factors. A thorough
knowledge of these factors will prove very helpful for teachers and parents in
understanding and guiding their children’s learning. Some of the personal factors that
influence the learning process can be classified as under- sensation and perception,
fatigue and boredom, maturation, emotional condition, needs, interests, motivation.
attention. intelligence. aptitude. attitude. etc.

Sensation and Perception

Apart from the general health of the students, sensation and perception are the
psychological factors which help in learning. Sensation is at the core of perception. There
are five sense organs i.e., skin, ears, tongue, eyes and nose. These sense organs are the
gateways of knowledge and help in perception of various stimuli in the environment. Any
defect in any of the sense organs will affect learning and hence acquisition of knowledge.

Fatigue and Boredom

The difference between the two is that fatigue is mental or physical tiredness which
decreases in efficiency and competency to work. Boredom, on the other hand. is a lack of
desire or an aversion. to work. Such an aversion makes one feel fatigued without being
actually fatigued. Studying seldom causes fatigue. It is mainly boredom which, besides
causing the impression of fatigue, decreases student efficiency in learning.

Age and Maturation

Leaning is directly dependent upon age and maturation. No learning can take place
unless individual is matured enough to learn. Some children can learn better at earlier
age while others take more time to learn the same content.

Emotional Conditions
Desirable emotional conditions enhance the quality and speed of learning. Happiness, joy
and satisfaction are always favorable for any type of learning. Adverse emotional
conditions, on the other hand, hinder learning. Many studies have established the fact
that emotional strain, stress. tensions, disturbances, etc., are extremely inimical to
scholastic pursuits.

Needs
A need is the lack of something which, if provided, would facilitate child’s usual
behaviour. The lack of something is experienced by the child. The child then tries to
perform that activity which culminates in the satisfaction of the need. Thus, the needs
are associated with goals. Among human beings, the needs are relatively permanent
tendencies which seek satisfaction in achieving certain specific goals. When these goals
are achieved, the particular need is satisfied or met for the time being, but it recurs
sooner or later and energizes further activity.

Interests
Various types of interests of the students can be exploited to facilitate their learning. The
interests during early infancy are mostly limited and short lived. As the child grows older
his interests diversify and stabilize. You, a school teacher, should have thorough
knowledge of children·s interests. You can eliminate much drudgery, monotony and
boredom from the school work if you make your instruction lively and stimulating and
arouse student interest in it.

Once the students· interest is aroused in an activity you should ex-pend more effort on it.
No learning can be achieved without proper expenditure of effort on it.

Motivation
Motivation is the heart of the learning process. It generates the will in an individual to do
something. Adequate motivation not only engages the student in an activity which results
in learning, but also sustains and directs learning. Two types of motivation are commonly
recognized. These are : intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.

Intrinsic motivation arises when the resolution of tension is to be found in mastering the
learning task itself: the material learned provides its own reward. For example, the
student who studies the construction of model aeroplane diligently so that he can make a
model. is experiencing a kind of intrinsic motivation.

Extrinsic motivation occurs when a student pursues a learning task, but for reasons”
which arc external. If a student engages in construction of model aeroplane because he
thinks it will please his father, who is an ex-pilot rather than because of intrinsic
motivation.

Intelligence
Intelligence as expressed by an I.Q.’score on an intelligence test is positively related to
learning Generally, students with higher I.Q. learn rapidly. However_ higher I.Q. in itself is
no guarantee for rapid learning, since other factors such as needs. interest motivation.
etc.. of the students and the methods used for learning arc also important.
Aptitude
A student who possesses appropriate aptitude for a particular subject of study or skill will
learn better and retain it for a longer time. On the other hand: he will require relatively
longer time to study a subject for which he lacks natural aptitude. He is liable to forget it
soon besides feeling bored and unhappy all the time while learning it. Hence it is
extremely desirable to analyse the aptitude of students before prescribed courses of
study for them.

Attitude
The learning process is also influenced considerably by the attitude of the student. If he is
alert. attentive and interested in the material to be learnt he is bound to have a
favourable attitude towards it.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING LEARNING

Environmental influences begin since the time of the conception or the child in the womb
or the mother. Mother’s mental, physical and emotional conditions influence the
development of foetus in the womb. The external environment starts from the time of
birth of the child. (external environment) refers to the surroundings which prevail in
home. school and locality. At these places, the child interacts with members of the
family, teachers. classmates or peers and neighbours and establishes relationship with
them. The relationship with the members of the society, and the surroundings may affect
the development of the child and also the way he learns. Some of the environmental
factors arc discussed as follows:

Surroundings : Natural, Social and Cultural

Natural surrounding covers the climatic and atmospheric condition. These conditions
affect learning directly. It has been found that high temperature and humidity reduces
mental efficiency. For a limited time, humidity and high temperature can be tolerated but
prolonged humidity and high temperature become unbearable and decrease mental
efficiency .

Social surrounding includes especially the environment of home. school and locality
Physical conditions at home such as large family, small family, insufficient ventilation,
improper lighting, uncomfortable temperature, noisy home environment due to use of
radio, TV, etc .. noisy neighbourhood, constant visits by friends or relatives, etc., influence
the intellectual learning of the student.

Cultural demands and social expectations also influence learning. The spirit of culture is
reflected in its social and educational institutions. Children’s learning, therefore, is greatly
determined by the demands and expectations of their culture.

Relationship with Teachers, Parents and Peers

The teacher is an important constituent in the instructional process. She/he plays an
important role in shaping the behaviour of students. The way he teaches and manages
the students has an effect on their learning.

Relationship with parents plays a vital role in the learning process of the student. If the
child-parents relationship is based on mutual respect and faith, it can provide the child a
congenial atmosphere which in turn can facilitate his/her learning. A distorted and
unhealthy environment, on the other hand, adversely affects the learning of the student.

A healthy peer group relationship also plays an important role in Learning, Student-
student relationship in the classroom, school, society, etc., create a particular type of
emotional climate. The climate solely depends upon their relationships. A sound
relationships provides a tension free environment to the student to learn more and to
compete in the class. If the relationship among peers is not good, it adversely affects their
learning.

Media Influence on Learning

Media has been considered an important component of transmitting information. Media
can be divided into two broad categories – print and non-print media. Print media refers
to texts or printed materials. It is economical and has traditionally been used for
pedagogical purposes.

First, start with where you are. Reopening schools has been controversial, and however
you and your students feel about it is okay. Concern over reopening may be based on
worries for your and your family’s safety. This does not reflect a lack of professional
dedication. At the same time, a desire to return to face-to-face instruction doesn’t mean
you’re dismissive of the pandemic’s dangers.

Wherever you are on the spectrum of emotions is valid. It’s important to be aware of
what you are feeling. You should also think about how those feelings may be different
from those of your colleagues, students, and families.
As teachers we are notorious for not taking our own advice. So be sure to engage with
the mental health strategies you wish for your students. You can take time to be slow and
present. You can create fun and free time in each day’s schedule.
