The Three Types of Curriculum Design

The document outlines four types of curriculum design: subject-centered, learner-centered, problem-centered, and core curriculum. Subject-centered design focuses on a particular subject like math or biology rather than the individual learner. Learner-centered design also focuses on a particular subject but considers the individual. Problem-centered design teaches students to analyze problems and develop solutions, exposing them to real-world issues. Core curriculum sets educational goals for all students at a specific age or grade level around core subjects like math, science, and history.

PROBLEM-CENTERED DESIGN

• ROBLEM-CENTERED CURRICULUM DESIGN IS ALSO A FORM OF STUDENT-


CENTERED DESIGN. PROBLEM-CENTERED CURRICULA FOCUS ON TEACHING
STUDENTS HOW TO LOOK AT A PROBLEM AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO
THE PROBLEM. STUDENTS ARE THUS EXPOSED TO REAL-LIFE ISSUES, WHICH
HELPS THEM DEVELOP SKILLS THAT ARE TRANSFERABLE TO THE REAL WORLD. 
CORE CURRICULUM LEARNING

(AND NOT TAUGHT), FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THAT ALL STUDENTS INVOLVED
LEARN CERTAIN MATERIAL TIED TO A SPECIFIC AGE OR GRADE LEVEL. THE
DESIGN OF A CORE CURRICULUM INCLUDES THINGS THAT DO NOT HAVE MUCH
RELEVANCE TO A HOMESCHOOLER: GRADE LEVELS, LEARNING DIVIDED INTO
DISCRETE SUBJECTS (MATH, SCIENCE, HISTORY, ETC.), TESTING GOALS, AND
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT NEEDS.
