    Curriculum Design

    OBJECTIVES:
     DEFINE WHAT CURRICULUM DESIGN IS;
     IDENTIFY DIFFERENT EXAMPLES OF CURRICULUM DESIGNS;
     DISCUSS THE THINGS TO CONSIDER IN DESIGNING A CURRICULUM AND;
     IDENTIFY THE FEATURES OF A GOOD CURRICULUM DESIGN.
    Curriculum Design
    • Refers to the arrangement of the elements of a curriculum.
    The four elements:
    Intent (aims, goal, objectives)
    Subject matter or content
    Learning experiences
    Evaluation
    Level of Organizing Curriculum Contents (Posner, 1997)
    • MACRO LEVEL
     Arranging or organizing the total curriculum from philosophy down to
    the contents of different subjects.
     Arranging the elements and contents of the curriculum can be referred
    as function of curriculum design.
    • MICRO LEVEL
    Organizing the content of a specific subject or discipline.
    Function of curriculum organization.
    However,
    • It is important to note that curriculum organization is based on the curriculum
    design. Curriculum design provides a philosophical way of organizing the
    contents and elements for the curriculum.
    Different Curriculum Designs:

    Subject – Centered Design


    Learner- Centered Design
    Problem – Centered Design
    Core Learning Design
    1. Subject-Centered Designs
    Organized in terms of subjects; it is the most popular among the four
    types of curriculum design. Classified into three specific designs:
    A. Subject Design- organized in terms of subjects such as Mathematics,
    Science, Filipino, English and other subjects. Mostly, these subjects are
    offered in Elementary level. Provide students with a general
    knowledge of each subject.
    B. Academic Discipline Design- organizes the curriculum in terms of
    disciplines like Algebra, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Economics,
    Philippine History and other discipline. Specialized particularly in
    college level.
    1. Subject-Centered Design
    C. Integrated Design – this design is based on the principle that learners learn in a
    integrated manner. Thus, this type of curriculum design tries to merge two or more
    related subjects.
    Types of Integration:
     Interdisciplinary – merging of two disciplines or subjects. Example, Science and
    Health. One needs Science knowledge to understand health concepts.
     Multidisciplinary or broad fields- the integration of three or more related disciplines.
    Example is Social Studies curriculum. Integrates civics, history, culture and economics.
     Core- Requires that all subjects or discipline in the school curriculum be put together
    using a single theme. This is usually used in preschool where subjects are combined
    using curriculum themes.
    2. Learner – Centered Designs
     Focus on the needs, nature, and interests of the learners in the curriculum. The aim
    of these designs is to develop the potentials and abilities of the learners and making
    the curriculum relevant and responsive to them.
    A. Activity/ Experience Design- This concentrates on activities that are meaningful
    and interesting to the learners. Learners will develop various skills like process
    skills, communication skills, problem solving, critical thinking and creativity that
    are important for the learners.
    B. Humanistic Design – composed of topics and learning experiences that focus on
    the holistic development of an individual. It also addresses the needs and nature
    of the learners. The goal of this design is the development of a well-rounded
    individual.
    3. Problem-Centered Designs
     These designs focus on understanding and finding solutions to individual and
    social issues and problems. They require students to use their skills and knowledge
    of different subjects and discipline as they engage themselves in meaningful
    learning of various social and individual problems like poverty, climate change,
    peace and order or terrorism, diseases, traffic and economic recession, among
    others.
    A. Thematic Design – main focus is the theme that are interesting to students. The
    goal is to provide holistic , meaningful, and relevant to the life of the learner.
    B. Problem Design – the learners are exposed to different lessons in problem
    solving real-life problems. Learners are exposed to some practical situations or
    issues that are important to them and to their community.
    4. Core Learning Designs
     Focus on learning a set of common subjects, disciplines, courses, skills or knowledge
    that is necessary for students to master. It aims to provide a uniform type of education
    based on a certain philosophy or educational theory. It also aim to provide an
    education that is transformative and relevant to all types of learners. Furthermore, it
    aims to develop a habit of mind or cultivate the critical and creative thinking of
    students that they can employ in their everyday life.
    A. Core Design – this is a set of common subjects, disciplines or courses that are
    required for students to study before they graduate or move to a different level.
    B. National Core Curriculum Design-This is a set of subjects or courses that are
    required to be taught to all students across the country. This is prescribed by the
    state through the Department of Education or the Commission on Higher Education.
    Things to Consider in Designing Curriculum
     There are two major forces considered in designing curriculum. These are the
    Horizontal and Vertical organization.
     Horizontal Organization – concerned with arrangement of curriculum components at
    any point in time ( Print, 1993) For example, it asks about the relationship between
    Geography, History, Economics, and Civics in Elementary Social Studies curriculum. It
    focuses on establishing relationships and integration among subjects areas in
    elementary or secondary curriculum.
     Vertical Organization - focuses on the spiral progression of curriculum contents. For
    example, what skills, concepts and values should be taught in Science from Grade I to
    VI. It focuses on the distribution of curriculum contents from Kindergarten to Grade 12
    (K-12). Mastery of the content by examining prerequisite knowledge and skills in
    learning different subjects.
