 THREE KINDS OF INNOVATIONS IN
EDUCATION

1. Structure- involve the ways in which

classroom and schools are organized.

2. Content- introduce subjects not previously

included in the curriculum, or those that revise
old subjects in new ways.
3. Process- those that have to do with human
interaction. Involves the cognitive or intellectual
or thinking domain as well as the affective (social
and emotional) domain in Education.
 Curriculum Innovation,

Where teachers design learning experiences by

experimenting with the curriculum and
instruction, is an influential process. From a
postmodern standpoint, learning is seen as being
unique to an individual, requiring connections that
are wholly different in each person's case.
 Types of Curriculum Innovation
The innovations fell into four broad categories:
 Organising the curriculum through themes or
inter-disciplinary links rather than discrete
subjects;
 Using curriculum time flexibly;
 Providing alternative curriculum pathways; and
 Developing learning skills.
 The importance of having curriculum
innovation?
Curriculum holds an outstanding place when
seeking to promote innovation in education, as it
reflects the vision for education by indicating
knowledge, skills and values to be taught to
students. It may express not only what should be
taught to students, but also how the students should
be taught.
A. Standard-Based Curriculum
3 Different Aspects; Knowledge, Skills, Disposition

1. Knowledge or Content Standards describes

what students should know. It includes themes or
conceptual strands that should be nurtured
throughout the students education.
2.Skills standards includes thinking and
process skills and strategies that should
acquire.

3.Disposition are attitudes and values that

should be developed and burtured in
students.
Benefits in using curriculum standards to
education by Van Tassel Baska (2008)
1. Ensure that students learn what they need
to know for high level functioning in the 21st
century.

2. Ensure education quality across school

districts and educational institutions.
3.Provide educators with guidepost to mark
the way to providing students with meaningful
outcomes to work on.

4. Provide a curriculum template within

which teacher and candidates are able to focus
on instructional delivery techniques that work.
B. Multicultural Curriculum

It aims to promote cultural literacy and

cultural understanding. School use different
strategies and approaches to develop cultural
literacy and promote cultural understanding.
 Usually this is done through activities like
knowing;

 Different costumes
 Different song
 Different literature
 Different foods
 And introducing them to different historical
places of different countries as part of the daily
lessons.
 Five dimensions that schools could adopt in trying
implementing multicultural curriculum. Banks (1994)

1. Content Integration- deals with the extent to

which teachers use examples and content from a
variety of cultures and groups in illustrating concepts,
princples, generalizations, and theories in their
subject area or discipline.
2. The Knowledge Construction Process-
consists of methods, activities, and questions that
the teachers can use in helping in understanding.

3. Prejudice Reduction- describes the

characteristics of students’ attitudes and strategies
that can be used to help in developing more
democratic attitudes and values.
4. Equity Pedagogy- exists when a teacher modify
their teaching in ways that will facilitate te academic
achievement of students from diverse racial,
cultural, ethnic, and gender groups.

5. An Empowering School Culture and Social

Structure- involves the culture and organization of
the school so the students from diverse racial,
cultural, ethnic, and gender groups well experience
quality.
