WEEK 2 REFLECTION

On the first lecture which is started on week 2, our respective lecturer for Curriculum and Pedagogy, Miss Soinim Musa briefly explained to all of us about topic 1. What have been discussed in the lecture is about the introduction of curriculum and pedagogy, include of the concept for both curriculum and pedagogy, definition, the differences, and the historical philosophy of education that related with the topic discussed. 

From the first lecture, I can summarize that the curriculum is a process of obtaining and answering a question as what, who, how we can taught to the student and the community. The curriculum are important to set the goals of education, approach to maximized the level of involvement between both teachers and students, and ways to measure learning experiences, and gain knowledge and competence. Meanwhile, pedagogy is closely related to the curriculum itself, which is, it is an approaches to teaching the learners based on the planned curriculum made previously. In the other hand, it is also can be define as the exploration of effective method of delivering knowledge to the learners and how the knowledge deliver are useful for them. What we need to bear in mind is, a good teacher can teach at all and flow naturally because of their level of mastery in such subject. In addition, with an excellent pedagogical knowledge, the delivery of the knowledge to all learners would be even better and leads to effective teaching and learning process. 

To conclude, teacher need to choose appropriate pedagogical method to make sure the teaching skills, relationship between knowledge delivered are related with one another, so that teacher/ instructor can reflect themselves and improve on their teaching process.
