Study Notes
Curriculum Organization and Design
- Scope: Refers to the breadth and depth of the content covered in a curriculum, including the range of topics, themes, and subtopics.
Curriculum Division
- Content is divided into manageable units to facilitate learning, through various approaches, including:
Principles of Curriculum Organization
- Simple to Complex: Arranging content from simple to complex and concrete to abstract, as proposed by Smith, Stanley, and Shore (1957).
- Whole to Part Learning: Involves presenting the overall idea or concept and then breaking it down into smaller parts to facilitate understanding.
- Prerequisite Learning: Involves organizing content in a sequence where each new concept builds upon previously learned material.
- Chronological Organization: Closely related to history, political science, or world events, where content is arranged in a chronological order.
- Societal Organization: As proposed by Posner and Rudnitsky (1994), content is arranged in units based on their relationship with people, objects, or events of the world.
- Thematic Arrangement: Focuses on organizing content around central themes or ideas, providing a holistic understanding.
- Linear Sequence: Involves organizing contents and experiences in a sequential manner, where each step builds upon the previous one.
Scope in Curriculum Design
- Definition: According to Tyler (as cited in Ornstein & Hunkins, 2004), scope includes the breadth and depth of the content, as well as the range of topics, themes, and subtopics.
- Function: Provides boundaries for the curriculum, guiding the selection and organization of content.
- Considerations: When determining the scope of a curriculum, factors such as learners' needs, resources, and institutional requirements should be taken into account.
- Curricularists' Suggestion: To view a design from a broader perspective, considering the entire curriculum as a whole.
- Boundaries: Scope provides boundaries for the curriculum, limiting the content and ensuring focus on essential topics.
