Module 3

  The curriculum was developed with a mixture of philosophies and the planning, instruction and assessment is also impacted by different ideologies and pedagogy. For planning, there is backward planning, with specific academic goals to attain and lead to instruction and assessment. There is a focus on planning from specific learning outcomes and educators implementing specific planning and instruction based on it. It enables more authentic instruction and student performance (Hayes, 2003). As a result, it will help students develop deeper understanding, reasoning, and skills (McMillan, 2014).

Each philosophy has its o wn goals and strategies for learning, which affects its curricular designs and contexts . In our visual, we presented all four but focused on what is appropriate within our teaching and curriculum we use at school. We started with educational philosophies at the top and narrowed the concepts down to more specific designs. Our focus was primarily on essentialism and progressivism. Essentialism focuses on essentials skills and intellectual growth. It is prominent when students enter secondary settings as they require basic and foundational skills .  For example, basic math skills and reading skills. Students need these skills to help them in their career and intellectual growth. However, progressivism and learner-centered design is also important and visible in...
