CURRICULUM

MODEL AND
NEW
LITERACIES
 Curriculum in today’s classroom means
having a plan in subject matter, goals, objectives,
assessments, and sequencing. Schools and
districts create a curriculum guide, a framework
that details what, how and when instruction
occurs.
The primary use of a curriculum guide is to
give educators a uniform methodology so that all
students have the same opportunities to learn.
 A curriculum guide can have several different
formats or models. A curriculum model, then, is
the tool that helps those who write and develop
curriculum guides. They provide a reason for
the choices made in teaching.
 FIVE BASIC TYPES OF
CURRICULUM
a.TRADITIONAL
b.THEMATIC
c.PROGRAMMED
d.CLASSICAL
e.TECHNOLOGICAL
 TRADITIONAL
 Using textbook/ workbook approach
 is a curriculum stays at a traditional type
of teaching. The techniques of the teaching
are not changing. It concentrated a
learning of the learners by old and
commonly strategies in teaching .
 It follows established guidelines and
practices.
 THEMATIC
 This type is known as “thematic learning”,
“teaching across the curriculum”, or
integrated study. Basic school subjects are
studied in light of a particular topic, theme, or
historical period instead of isolated subjects.
 It usually occur within an entire grade level of
the students. Teachers of all the different
subject taught in that particular grade work
together as a team to design curriculum,
instruction methods, and assessment around a
preselected theme.
Thematic instruction assumes students
learn best when they associate new
information holistically with across the
entire curriculum and with their own
lives, experiences, and communities.
 PROGRAMMED
 This type is often based on a self-paced,
sequential workbook. It requires no preparation
and usually little direct teaching.
 Is a method of presenting new subject matter
to students in carefully designed steps through a
sequence of instructional frames. ( Miller,2006)
Students work through the programmed
material by themselves at their own speed.
 CLASSICAL
 Initiated by the Greek and roman civilizations
over 2,000 years ago.
Classical curriculum provides an excellent
education through an academically rigorous
curriculum within a classical education
framework.
“The Trivium” is stages or ways of learning
that coincide with a child’s cognitive
development.
Grammar Stage- factual knowledge or
information about the new area is learned. At
Classical school, this stage is focused on learning
the basic rules of phonics, reading, math,
English grammar, vocabulary and factual
knowledge of the core knowledge of the content
subject.
Logic Stage- begin to think more analytically. In
the logic stage, the information is analyze: the
“Why” is asked in answered.
Rhetoric Stage- At this stage, the
students are ready to integrate the
knowledge from the grammar stage and
the rules of logic from the logic stage to
drawn their own conclusions and make
connections to related fields.
 TECHNOLOGICAL
LEARNING
 This includes internet and software based
programs. The internets provide multi-sensory
interactive learning via multi-media learning.
TYPES ADVANTAGES
TRADITIONAL  The one-on-one students and
teachers interaction helps
students to actively learn the
lessons delivered by the teacher
 Communication
 Recreational activities
 The schedules is properly
carried out
THEMATIC  Students learn better when
experiencing knowledge in a
larger context. They begin to
see relationships and
connections across time, places,
and disciplines.
 Themes can be chosen that are
current and student-centered,
incorporating the needs,
interest and perspectives of the
students.
DISADVANTAGES
 Spoon feeding students are
always dependent on their
teachers in every study related
matter.
 Favoritism teachers show
favoritism which destroys the
personalities of the left out
students.
 It is costly, books and other
materials is quite expensive
 Subjects seems to be so
broad because it is in a
large context.
PROGRAMMED  It is a great thrust in the
direction of individualized
instruction. A well organized
programmed instructional
device is tailored cater to the
needs of individual student of
the class.
 It is more successful in critical
sagacity(discernment) of the
logic of various subjects and
inspiring the students to
creative thinking and judgment.
 It does not eliminate
competition or grades as
often claimed.
 It restricts learner’s
freedom of choice
resulting in cramping of
his imagination and
initiative.

focus on the basic skills of
writing, reading and
arithmetic.
