DEAR PQI6004: WEEK 3: DESIGNING CURRICULUM

Dear, PQI6004😍

Its the third week I'm learning you and thanks to this reflection thing. I think I’m clearly understand this week 3’s topic: Curriculum development. I hope misconceptions does not occur againnn.

Hopefully.

Have you guys ever thought of designing a curriculum? Surely never right unless u have the Minister of Education as your ambition. Just kidding. This looks-simple-yet-complicated thing called ‘curriculum’ is actually very structured.

In order to develop them, several things need to be taken care of. And for today, I will tell you how they design this CURRICULUM. There are 3 aspects of learning that are important to design a curriculum, which are; 
1. ELEMENTS                                
2. PROCESS                         
3. DESIGN



Then, let me take you to each criteria, first, the Elements in curriculum design.

If world has earth, air, water and fire as its elements,
curriculum has goal, objective, learning experience, structuring learning experience and evaluating the learning experience as its elements.

To avoid confusions, I will explain to you one by one, the definitions behind those elements.

1.       Goal
a.       This goal is not the goal that people are shouting for in the field. This kind of goal is a broader statement of what you (teacher) wants your student to do after completing the lessons.

2.       Objective
a.       Next, objective, a teacher should create an effective objectives for their students, and the criteria of creating an effective objective is that it should consist of a performance, conditions and criterion. For instance, To name at least three

3.       Learning experiences
a.       Learning experience is basically how the teacher delivered the lessons. It can be a student-centered lessons, or an active learning experience with interactive activities. Its all depends on the creativity of the teacher to make every lesson a meaningful experience. This way, student can retain the knowledge for a long time.

4.       Structuring the learning experience.
a.       The learning experience should be structured. There are several examples of learning structure such as horizontal and vertical integration. Teachers can applied them in their lesson.

5.       Evaluating the learning experience
a.       Lastly, these learning experience need to be evaluated. Why? Teachers need to evaluate whether the objective and goal designated for the lesson has been achieved and obtain their students achievement level.

That’s all from me today. My long reflection is coming to an end as the class in week 3 ended with these elements. Will continue this reflection next week. Stay tuned.

Sincerely, D.

Dear PQI6004 The whole DPP semester is 12-week long and this is my eleventh entry which means that next week is the last class for us. I was terribly thrilled when they, my friends said that there will be a small feast on the 12th week of the semester. I can't wait to wait for that moment. As time goes by, the semester is coming to an end and the exams is waiting for us. Suddenly, I get cold feet 😓 As we have already passed up both assignments, this week, presentation session has been held. My group is the sixth group to present. We had presented both our curriculum comparison and lesson plans. Our group first presenter, Farah Hanum Our group second and last presenter, Nabila Farhana Our group presented the curriculum comparison between 5 countries  on history subject and our lesson plan also on history subject.

WEEK 6: DIFFERENT MODELS OF INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

Image
It has been the 6 th week of my DPP study, and I’m starting to understand every subjects that I have learn including you, PQI6004. In today class, Dr. Dorothy discussed the answer to the previous assignment. Out of 100, I get a 75%. Thank you Dr. Dorothy for assessing and evaluate my answer. Overall, Dr Dorothy said that my answer was good and I have considered the learner’s analysis. From her comment, perhaps, I think I have captured the main points of the Analysis phase in A.D.D.I.E. Model. After discussing the answer with the whole class, Dr. Dorothy continued the lessons with the Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction. In this context, Dr. Dorothy taught us on how to create a lesson plan based on this model. In my opinion, Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction is a very complete model. It really does considered teacher’s preparation before, during and after class. Creating a lesson plan according to this model would produce a very complete lesson plan. After discussing this model,...

WEEK 7 : DR. DOROTHY REFLECTION ON OUR ASSIGNMENT

Dear PQI6004, Entering the 7 th week of me exploring the curriculum design subject. As weeks passed, day by day, I think that I have captured the gist of this subject. In my last blog, I’ve told you about the mid-term assignment on creating a lesson plan. I have created a lesson plan of a cell biology topic, mitosis. I’ve hoped to use this created lesson plan during my microteaching for PQI6023 : Cell Biology. This week, as usual, Dr. Dorothy started the lesson with the discussion on our lesson plan. She gave us the general comment. For this lesson plan assignment, I get 80/100. Dr Dorothy comments on my lesson plan are as below: Not enough the high-order learning outcome since the learners are form 4 student There are no questions included in the lesson plan Thank you Dr. Dorothy for the comment.
