My philosophy of curriculum

My philosophy of curriculum

My philosophy of curriculum is based on the incorporation of the social efficiency ideology. It aims at achieving a learner-centred type of education by creating a classroom where the needs of all students are met through education. I define the curriculum as a system that helps students adapt to the needs that the outcomes of schooling present to them. Such type of curriculum looks at the backgrounds of different students by considering their cultures, social contexts and expectations after which a tailor-made system is created to cater for their needs.

My philosophy for curriculum calls for the transfer of basic human knowledge on aspects such as nature and diversity from one generation to the next. This knowledge then needs to be integrated with creativity to enable students to use the knowledge to other benefits. By incorporating creativity into the system, students will be able to make use of the locally available resources and talents they are born with for the purpose of earning a living and surviving the adversities presented by the world.

Finally, my philosophy of curriculum considers the preparation of student`s for professional life. Considering that educational outcomes are linked with professional outcomes, my philosophy integrates professional capabilities with problem-solving skills. This curriculum, however, needs to consider the student`s wishes to improve their ability to understand the professional skills being introduced to them. In this regards, a student-centred learning approach needs to be adopted by ensuring that the student`s needs are considered before designing the approach to be taken to the classroom. The College Learning for the New Global Century`s approach to Interactive learning will, therefore, serve as the ideal approach to use in the classrooms to ensure that the teachers do not dominate without meeting the student’s needs.
