A curriculum design project is a plan for instruction that´s created to meet a school or classroom´s curricular goals. It's a collaborative process that involves identifying learning objectives and goals.
Learning objective:
To design a project based on designing a curriculum through the use of a template that includes only four weeks and can be used as a future reference.
Instructions:
1. Review all the course files that were provided throughout the course. Identify important information related to curriculum design, methodologies, and key concepts that will be useful in your project.
2. Start by selecting a subject you teach, keeping in mind that the project can be designed for any level (e.g., primary, secondary, or higher education).
3. Choose a methodology for designing your curriculum project. It is highly recommended to use the problem-based methodology. This methodology encourages active learning and critical thinking, which is valuable for curriculum development.
4. Follow these steps to design your project:
Define the problem: Identify a real-world issue or challenge that your students will work to solve. This could be related to the subject you're teaching, like an issue in history, science, or social studies.
Activate existing knowledge: Begin by considering what your students already know about the topic. Reflect on their prior knowledge and experiences that can help them approach the problem.
Identify required knowledge: Determine what additional knowledge and skills students will need to solve the problem. This will guide the content you include in your curriculum.
Research: Encourage students to conduct research to gather information, explore resources, and develop a deeper understanding of the problem.
Assess: Create assessments or evaluation tools to measure the students' progress and understanding throughout the project. These assessments could be formative or summative.
Share solutions: Once the students have worked on the problem, allow them to share their solutions with the class. This step encourages collaboration and peer learning.
Reflect and compare: After the students present their solutions, encourage reflection. Have them compare their solutions to others and evaluate the effectiveness of their approach.
Critically analyze: Encourage students to critically analyze the problem-solving process and the solutions generated, asking questions about what worked well and what could have been improved.
5. Open the file named “Course Design”, where you will find valuable information and templates about curriculum design. This will help you structure your project effectively.
6. You can also refer to the readings provided during the module to gather insights and ideas that will further inform your curriculum project.
7. Design your project based on the curriculum concepts and methodologies discussed throughout the course. Be sure to clearly outline your objectives, content, learning activities, and assessments.
8. Once your project is designed and you have completed all the steps, submit your project file in the task mailbox.
