Curriculum


Today our lecturer is Dr. Lesley Harbon, who run discussing method in her lessons within classmate and whole class. It let us always try to think, speak up, and share our experiences. In m opinion he teaches very well and I really enjoy in her class. This morning we discussed about the definition of curriculum. Copying by her paper on it, curriculum as it relates to pedagogy. A brief note that we adopted the definition of curriculum is an interrelated sets of plans and experiences which student completes under the guidance of the educational system, then we must also consider how a teacher enacts this. This art or craft or science of teaching and learning, often including notions of teaching strategies, is pedagogy.
Adapted from Marsh (1997), what curriculum is, I prefer the definition of it that curriculum is that which is taught both inside and outside of classroom and directed by the educational system. It seems to me that definition is appropriate what we face today, especially in my country. Curriculum is set to regulate the learning not only inside classroom but also outside. It consist of aim need objectives, content, method, and evaluation.
The model of curriculum probably consist of two groups. Those are objectives models, and interaction model. The sequence as follows :

Objectives Models: (1) Aim/objectives, (2) Content, (3) Method, and (4) Evaluation Interaction Models : (1) Content, (2) Method, (3) Aim/objectives, and (4) Evaluation or (1) Evaluation, (2) Method, (3) Content,and (4) Model

Based on those classifications, in my institution, we provide both of them. Implemented and printed in syllabus, sometimes we point out the aim/objectives but sometimes the content is in the first. However, rarely does the evaluation be the priority in making syllabus.
