WEEK 10 REFLECTION

 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.
