Curriculum Design

Part: 1 Explanation and discussion of the curriculum design and development process currently used in Australian Secondary schools.

When curriculum are designed, planed daily activities follow. Curriculum designed by the interest of the children and go through steps. Include philosophies of education, theories, standards, principles values, research, and views on how children learn best. Usually contained different domains that children develop through the activities. Socio emotional, intellectual. Then, goals and objective are written and say how this goals will be recognize. A plan is coming for outside and inside environment, the activist have to be planned to be out or in the classroom.

Another key feature is that the National Curriculum identifies key subject disciplines. All the National Curriculum subjects are organised to show a carefully designed framework that will maximise a learners opportunities to achieve success. As illustrated by the QCA (2007), for Design and Technology, the curriculum is organised into 4 parts, which are:

There are many thoughts about curricula and its goals that it is supposed to accomplish. Looking back throughout history there are many changes that curriculum has gone through, from No Child Left Behind to the Common Core Curriculum. If you were to sit down with teachers, parents, community members, and even law makers I don’t think that you would get the same answer between any of them about what the general goals of curricula are. For me, it is a struggle to sit down and begin to think about what the goal of curricula. As a student and a teacher that has seen the changes in curricula my experiences have definitely influenced my thoughts about what the goals of curricula should be and the roles of the teacher, student, parent, and community are within those goals.

The AusVELS curriculum has been developed to ensure that the curriculum content of all subjects along with the required achievement standards provide an enriched learning experience for all students with proficiencies

Instrumental ensembles are vital to the liberal arts core in college programs. Both aspects should function collaboratively, teaching students to reach their full potential, think critically, and develop patterns of rich, diverse thought. While producing a high level musical experience, instrumental music programs must train complete musicians, performers, and create environment conducive to higher level thinking.

Education should be regulated and enforced by state governments because all states need personalized curriculums. Although state curriculums might overlap in some ways, some states might want to require certain classes state specific classes such as texas history and government. Also some states might have different literacy rates than others so they might want to require extra graduation requirements.

The teacher provided an excellent lesson plan and the lesson objectives were aligned with the Stand Out curriculum. It contain details to show the “what” and “how” of the lesson. The lesson objectives and activities were nicely paced and the teacher transitioned smoothly from one activity to another, “look at the vocabulary words and only check the ones that you can read and understand.”, “today we will look at few words.” The teacher used a variety of learning styles to differentiate instruction and enhance student learning. She used the plastic toy foods to talk about the different groups of food. The small group activity required teamwork from the students.

According to this article there are many problems with the way colleges and universities are preparing graduates for the real world. One of the many problems with their curriculums is that, “today, Economic 101 still looks like it did for our grandparent’s generation, a debate between 19th

Liberal arts education, with relation to the business field, has brought about much attention in the last thirty years. The scope of the liberal arts field with relation to the business environment, while discussed in length for over a century, has just recently established itself as a larger debate than otherwise thought.

The scope of the curriculum is to provide students of all year levels, with knowledge, skills and attitude that will enable students to understand learning and educational content and why it is important for their future.

Early childhood education programs are formed by administrators coming together to form curriculums for teachers in the program to have as a guide to teach young children. For an example, each county has a board of education for the school system with administrators who form a curriculum for teachers to teach by; and administrators leads the teachers to make sure the teachers are teaching children based on the curriculum formed by the board of education. Child care centers usually form curriculums based around what program the center is accredited by through the state. For an example, here

In general, literature in education studies confirms that Rogers’s model parsimoniously carries over to research in school health: several researchers have conceptualized implementation within a diffusion of innovation paradigm (Hausman & Ruzek, 1995; Henderson & Dancy, 2008; McCormick, Steckler, & McLeroy, 1995; Parcel et al., 1989; Payne, Gottfredson, and Gottfredson, 2006; Penberthy & Millar, 2002). For example, Rogers’s adoption-invention continuum has been helpful to identify which elements of a reform are modified and directly adopted. Henderson & Dancy (2008) demonstrate that new users often adapt and reinvent instructional tools to fit their needs, adding new characteristics that distinguish it from its planned or intended use.

Curriculum from an academic point of view is the vehicle by which learners are introduced to subject matter disciplines and to organized fields of study. The various academic subjects represent a range of approaches to truth and knowledge. Academicians define knowledge as justified belief, as opposed to ignorance, mere opinions, or guesses (McNiel, 1996). An academic curriculum is very hard to create. Many believe that the development of a rational mind is the primary goal, but they do not always agree on how best to achieve this goal. There are different levels of curriculum, and who decides what should be taught is determined by many different levels and statuses of people. Today there
