Lesson 1 : Take Action
Activity 1 - Traditional or Progressive: What is your view of
Curriculum?
1.) What is your own definition of a curriculum?
Answer: A Curriculum for me is a collection of subject or course that is taught and learned through collaborative work and experiences by the students facilitated by their teachers in a specific school or university.
2.) Do you have a traditional view of a curriculum, a
progressive view or both? Explain your answer based on your definition. Answer: In my personal experience working in a traditional school set up in more than 8 years, I can say that learning is very rigid where knowledge is found but is used as a means to accomplish intended target. Whereas the Progressive side is more of total learning exp erience of an individual. This is why learning is fun, exciting and purposeful. This is the base form of my present work at PINK PLAYHOUSE where integrated knowledge is acquired through play or experiences. Critical thinking and higher order of learning are practiced. Every learner’s opinion and perspective is highly encourage in everyday discussion.
