b. Motivation.
After the Group 1 tackled all the elements and parts of the curriculum, we must
take the term curriculum not just in the context of Traditional Point of View but rather
in the Progressive Point of View where our professor Maam Cardenas have been
emphasize at the start of our lesson. Progressive Point of View is viewed curriculum as
all experiences children have under the guidance of teachers, or from written to
actualization, thats the holistic meaning of curriculum.

Now, are we all ready to develop or design a curriculum? As a teacher, one has
to be a curriculum designer, curriculum implementer and a curriculum evaluator. These
threefold functions are embedded in the teaching profession. Every single day, a
teacher plans, implements and evaluates the curriculum in school. Hence it would be of
great help to know how school curricula are being made or crafted.

Our group will provides a background on curriculum designs, the dimensions
and some principles that go with each and some curricular approaches.

c. Discussion.

Lesson 1- Curriculum Design Models
I. Organization of a Curriculum
1. Horizontal Organization

II. Structures of Curriculum Design
1. Subject-Centered Design Model this model focuses on the content of the
curriculum
a. Subject Design- it answers the questions What subjects are your
teaching? for teachers and What subjects are you taking? for the learners.
The oldest and most familiar design for teachers, parents and other laymen
in which it centers on the cluster of content.
b. Discipline Design- It focuses on academic discipline that refers to specific
knowledge learned through a method which the scholars use to study a
specific content of their fields.
c. Correlation Design from the core, it correlated curriculum design that
links separate subject designs in order to reduce fragmentation. Subjects
are related to one another but each subject maintains its identity.
d. Broad field Design /Interdisciplinary- it is a variation of the subject-
centered design that was made to prevent the compartmentalization of
subjects and integrate the contents that are related to each other.
