Examples of Subject-centered Design
Subject design
Oldest and so far the most familiar design for teachers, parents and other laymen
It is easy to deliver
Sometimes learning is so
compartmentalized
DISCIPLINE DESIGN
Focuses on the academic discipline
Often used in college, but not in elementary and secondary levels.
CORRELATION DESIGN
Comes fro a core, 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
Broad Field Design
A variation of the subject-centered design
Made to prevent compartmentalization of subjects and integrate the contents that are related to each other
LEARNER-CENTERED DESIGN
Learner is the center of the educative process
This emphasis is very strong in elementary levels
Child-centered Design
Anchored on the needs and interests of the child
One learns by doing
Learner engages with his/her environment
DEWEY ROUSSEAU PESTALLOZI FROEBEL
• Child remains to be the focus
• The interest and the needs of the learners cannot be pre-planned
• Experiences are the starting point of the curriculum
• Learners are made to choose from the various activities
Experience-centered Design
HUMANISTIC DESIGN
Development of self is the ultimate goal
Positive self-concept and interpersonal skills
Integration of thinking, feeling and doing
ABRAHAM MASLOW
CARL ROGERS
