Types of Curriculum




1. Child-Centered Curriculum

  • Focuses on the needs, interests, and abilities of the child.
  • The teacher acts as a guide, and learning happens through activities and experiences that the child enjoys.
  • Example: Learning through play, storytelling, or exploration.

2. Subject-Centered Curriculum

  • Organized around specific subjects like science, geography, or mathematics.
  • The main goal is to develop knowledge, habits, and skills related to each subject.
  • Learning is often textbook-based and structured.

3. Activity-Based Curriculum

  • Emphasizes learning by doing through activities, experiments, and projects.
  • Encourages creativity and hands-on learning rather than rote memorization.
  • Example: Science experiments, role-play, and craft work.

4. Experience-Centered Curriculum

  • Learning is based on the experiences of the students.
  • The focus is on real-life situations and practical knowledge.
  • Encourages reflection and critical thinking.

5. Core Curriculum

  • Includes essential subjects that are necessary for all students.
  • Example: Language, Mathematics, and Science.
  • It provides a common foundation of knowledge that every student should have.

6. Interdisciplinary Curriculum

  • Combines two or more subjects to help students connect concepts across different areas.
  • Example: Studying social science with economics or math with physics.
  • Helps deepen understanding and develop problem-solving skills.

7. Integrated Curriculum

  • Merges subjects and learning experiences into a unified whole.
  • Focuses on overall development and connecting learning to real life.
  • Example: A project combining art, math, and language skills.
8. Experimental Curriculum
  • Based on learning through experiments and exploration.
  • Encourages students to learn by doing and discovering things themselves.
  • Example: Science labs or fieldwork.

9. Craft-Centered Curriculum

  • Focuses on developing practical and creative skills through crafts.
  • Helps students express creativity and learn the value of manual work.
  • Example: Pottery, weaving, or paper crafts.
10. Correlated Curriculum
  • Establishes connections between related subjects so that learning becomes meaningful.
  • Example: Teaching geography along with history to understand the context better.
11. Vocational Curriculum
  • Prepares students for specific trades or professions.
  • Focuses on skill development for employment.
  • Example: Courses in carpentry, tailoring, computer training, etc.

12. Problem-Centered Curriculum

  • Organized around real-world problems rather than subjects.
  • Encourages students to find solutions through research, teamwork, and creativity.
  • Example: Discussing environmental pollution and finding ways to reduce it.

Format of Action Research in Mathematics

  ACTION RESEARCH Title Of Problem: Students are unable to perform mathematical operations on Rational Numbers. Delimiting the Problem: 08 students are unable to perform mathematical operations on rational numbers. Specific Form Of Problem: Unable to perform mathematical operations on rational numbers. Background of the Problem: During my internship in (SCHOOL NAME), while teaching I observed that 08 students of class 8 th are unable to perform mathematical operations on rational numbers in mathematics period. Objectives of Proposed Research under the Scheme: To know the cause of students inability to perform mathematical operations on rational numbers To know whether students have basic knowledge of mathematics operations. To know whether students have basic knowledge of numbers and their types To encourage students to pay more attention in the mathematics period. To develop students interest in mathematics by the use of teaching aids. Importance of Re...

Principles of Development

 Principles of Development The principles of growth and development are: Principle of Continuous Development The principle of continuous development states that the development in human beings is continuous i.e., it starts at the time of conception and continues till death. However, the pace of development in different stages of an individual’s life is different i.e., it is sometimes slow and sometimes fast. Principle of Fixed Direction of Development Principle of fixed direction of development states that the development in an individual occurs in a fixed direction. For example: at embryo stage, first the head develops and then the lower portion the child’s body i.e., development takes place from head to toe in a fixed direction. Principle of Uniform Pattern Principle of uniform pattern states that the pattern of development in species of same kind is uniform. For example: In humans, a child’s milk teeth fall first and then his/her permanent teeth appear. This is a uniform patter...
