Study Notes

Effective Curriculum Development

Follows a systematic process, including desired outcomes, subject matter content, procedures, materials, resources, and evaluation procedures.

Elements of a Curriculum Design

Lesson plan as a miniscule curriculum, including:
- Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO) / Desired Learning Outcomes (DLO)
- Subject Matter or Content
- Teaching and Learning Methods
- Assessment and Evaluation

Behavioral Objectives or Intended Learning Outcomes

Expressed in action words from the revised Bloom's Taxonomy of Objectives
Should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Result-oriented, and Time-bound
Should express what successful students will be able to do
Should include different kinds of outcomes

Principles of Child-Centered Curriculum Approach

Acknowledge and respect the fundamental rights of the child
Revolve activities around the overall development of the learner
Consider the uniqueness of every learner in a multicultural classroom
Use differentiated instruction or teaching
Provide a motivating, supportive learning environment for all learners

Subject-Centered Approach

Primary focus is the subject matter
Emphasis is on bits and pieces of information detached from life
Subject matter serves as a means of identifying problems of living
Learning means accumulation of content or knowledge
Teacher's role is to dispense content

Curriculum Mapping

A model for designing, refining, upgrading, and reviewing the curriculum
Provides a framework that provides form, focus, and function
A reflective process that helps teachers understand what has been taught, how it has been taught, and how learning outcomes are assessed
Introduced by Heidi Hayes Jacobs in 2004

Benefits of Curriculum Mapping

Ensures alignment of desired learning outcomes, learning activities, and assessment of learning
Responds to changes brought about by current social forces, philosophical positions, psychological principles, new knowledge, and educational reforms
Allows for concurrent existence of newer and older curriculum changes
Involves teachers in curriculum development and design
Is a cooperative group activity with stakeholders
Is a continuous process of monitoring, examination, evaluation, and improvement
Is more effective as a comprehensive process rather than piecemeal
