REVAMPING CURRICULUM CONTENT : STEPS AND STRATEGIES

Sam Mohanlal, Ph.D.

This PowerPoint presentation identifies steps and strategies to revamp the curriculum. The presentation focuses on the methods of action research.

Syllabus, text books, teaching and testing strategies are always dynamic in nature. This dynamism is directly proportional to the ever changing learning objectives and need. Need based curriculum will be always more functional and active.

There are NINE PRIMARY FEATURES OF A FUNCTIONAL CURRICULUM

1. Creative and flexible approaches to learning and teaching.
2. Innovative curriculum which can cater to the aspirations and interests of the students.
3. Curricular provision to make effective use of new technologies in order to motivate and inspire students.
4. Curricular provision to nurture close partnerships with local and international organizations, giving students a wide range of opportunities to experience the world of work.
5. Opportunities for students to extend their learning outside of the formal curriculum.
6. An intended behavior change that a learner is expected to exhibit after undergoing a learning experience.
7. Help select content and desirable learning experience.
8. Curriculum to serve as an implicit contract between the facilitator and the student setting up basis for accountability.
9. The student is motivated not by the teacher but by his underlying values as a reflection of the curriculum guided behavior.
