Learner
• Curriculum should be derived from what we know about the learner---how he/she learns and forms attitudes, generates interests, and develops values
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
HORIZONTAL ORGANIZATIO
N• scope and
integration
side by side arrangement of curriculum elements
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
VERTICAL ORGANIZATIO
N• sequence and
continuitylongitudinal placement of curriculum elements• It corresponds to
Bruners’ “spiral curriculum”
DESIGN DIMENSIONCONSIDERATIONS SCOPE
• breath and depth of curriculum content
• The range or extent of "content" (whether information to be learned, skills to be acquired etc.) that will be included in a course or program. It must be sufficient to lead learners to achieve the program or course outcomes. However, there is a constant tension between breadth and depth when considering scope. In general, when deep learning is required, "lean" is best.
DESIGN DIMENSIONCONSIDERATIONS INTEGRATION
• It refers to the horizontal relationship among major curriculum components at any given point in time (also known as horizontal organization).
• Integration fosters reinforcement of key learning and interrelating content with learning experiences to other subjects.
DESIGN DIMENSIONCONSIDERATIONS SEQUENCE
• It is the vertical relationship among curricular areas by ordering learning experiences so that learners build on previous experiences and move to broader, deeper or more complex understandings and applications.
• Common ways of sequencing content within courses include simple to complex, wholes to parts (or part to wholes), prerequisite abilities, and chronological.
DESIGN DIMENSIONCONSIDERATIONS CONTINUITY
• It refers to the vertical manipulation or repetition of curriculum components such as ideas or skills which are important in the learning process.
DESIGN DIMENSIONCONSIDERATIONS
ARTICULATION AND BALANCE
Articulation refers to the interrelatedness of various aspects of the curriculum. Balance gives appropriate weight to each aspect of the design so that distortions do not occur.
