Today
is the last lecture for the subject ‘Curriculum and Pedagogy’ for my sixth
semester and this will be the last reflection regarding to my assignment 1. At the
beginning of the class, Miss Soinim did remind all of us to submit all of the
coursework given by the course leader due to the final count of our course mark
on next week. In addition, Miss Soinim do a brief explanation and summarization
about the main topic that have been posted in the UNIEC and told us again to
download it for final exam preparation. After done giving brief lecture, Miss
Soinim asked if any group have prepared to share their understanding on what
topic that has been chosen by their group. At first, every group doesn’t looks
prepared well for the sharing and insist to go to the front but then Miss
Soinim told us to be the first group and we choose curriculum design as a topic
to be shared. From what I understand, there are four important things that need
to be emphasized in designing curriculum which is the emphasis on the
objective, content (subject matter), learning experiences and evaluation. Curriculum
can’t stand alone which is the source of designing curriculum by science, moral
doctrine, learners, knowledge and lastly, from the society. The things that
need to be considered before design a curriculum are scope, sequence,
continuity, integration, articulation and balance. The consideration before
design a curriculum needs to be taken seriously because it needs to be fit
perfectly to the children’s learning experiences.
