About This Course
This course is an introduction to curriculum design and development. The underlying framework for the course is one that views curriculum building as a design process that requires ongoing study of and reflection about curriculum, the needs and motivations of the learner and the practice of teaching within the contexts that the curriculum, learner and teacher are situated. An overview of philosophical perspectives on curriculum will form the basis for exploring central and perennial curriculum questions: What knowledge is of most value and worth? How is the learner and learning viewed? What is the role of teachers in creating and enacting curriculum?
What You'll Learn
In this course, students will work in collaborative groups to reflect on curriculum theory by analyzing curriculum documents. In unpacking the tacit assumptions behind each alternative, students will realize that different contexts require different practices, and begin to appreciate the complexities that underlie each curriculum decision. The process of analysis will reveal that curricula are by necessity always incomplete, imperfect and situated. Everything that is included (topic, activity, question, component, material, assessment, etc.) means that something else has been excluded. However, the decisions are not final.
