UNDERSTANDING DISCIPLINES AND SUBJECTS MRS.R.KOHILA DEVI ASST. PROF. IN EDUCATION THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS MADURAI -9
DISCIPLINE ORIENTED CURRICULUM: A common approach to curriculum development is a discipline based approach. It is the one in which the curriculum is divided into several disciplines or subjects. The curriculum consists of subjects like language, Science, Maths, literature, Social Studies, etc... It is also known as subject centred curriculum approach. . In discipline oriented curriculum the various subjects and discipline or thought to the students by subject experts. A students learn factual specific and current information letter to the specific discipline with in-depth knowledge.
DISADVANTAGES OF DISCIPLINE ORIENTED CURRICULUM: • Focuses on teaching a particular subject and enable learner to gain a deep knowledge of the specific subject or discipline • Does not allow the learners to develop their own knowledge and depends on the use of textbooks and subject content developed by experts for each subject • the approach more focuses on the development of the cognitive skills of the learners rather than the actual learning needs • the individual needs of the learners their abilities interest and attitudes are not taken into consideration when this curriculum is developed using this approach
• No effort or put in to establish a relationship between any of the subjects • Implies that whatever the student Learns from one subject area cannot be applied to another one and the knowledge is its restricted and limited to a specific subject area only • Student may not learn all subjects equally well and may not be interested in learning at all • No effective learning happens in this approach • Does not help them in implementation of their learning in real life experiences
LEARNER ORIENTED CURRICULUM: Learner Oriented curriculum is even wearing the focus of the curriculum is the learner. In this type of Curriculum the students are given more importance as compared to the subject or the role of the teachers. It is frame keeping in mind the need skills, abilities and attitudes of the learnEr. The aim of the learner centred curriculum is to ensure the overall development of the learner or the student.
STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT IN LEARNER ORIENTED CURRICULUM: • Identifying the learners • Specifying learning objectives • Identifying the models available • specifying the theory methods and principles appropriate for successful learning • Designing the curriculum architecture • Configuringthe curriculum • Providing learner Services • Freedom to develop naturally • Teacher is the guide • Interest is the motive of the students • Scientific study of development • Cooperation between home and school
ADVANTAGES OF LEARNER ORIENTED CURRICULUM • Learner oriented curriculum is the most natural approach to curriculum development where in the focus is on learner of the student • Bass and develop on the basis of the needs and interests of the learners. • Facilitates the growth and development of a child in a natural manner • The role of the teacher is not that of a taskmaster but that of a guide and supporter of the students. • It includes special activity exploratory cars and other learning experiences to facilitate the learning of a student • It involves active participation of the students in Planning and evaluating their learning needs
• Engages students in practical and activities so that the planning will be in effective manner • It encourages the students to take responsibility of what they learn and how they learn it • Students learn important communication and collaborative skills through group work • The approach contributes to the attainment of many of the desired outcomes of the school program in terms of ways of working development of Democratic values, attitudes and appreciation. • IIIIIt provides for better integration of learning activities
SELF LEARNING: Self learning or individualized instruction development teaching methods meant for all members of a group failed to meet the varying needs of individual students. Every individual has a natural desire to learn on his or her own and every individual is unique with learning capacities.
Characteristics of self learning: The main characteristics of self learning are, • Emphasis on learning rather than teaching. • Recognition of individual differences. • Active student participation. • Working at one's own pace • Provision of feedback and evaluation.
ADVANTAGES OF SELF LEARNING: • Self learning as a method of instruction has certain advantages which make it more suited to the students. • Students learn more effectively when they learn on their own. • Self learning develops critical thinking in handling of study materials on one’s own and enhances communicative skills and self Reliance. • Self learning prepare students to face the problems in his or her real life. • Learning on one's own is more enjoyable, exciting and rewarding. • Self learning promote self discipline in the students.
PROJECT WORK: • It is one of the methods of self learning but less structured and PLM, PSI and CAI. Assignments on which students work on them for a longer period, says one week or two weeks and produced something concrete or describe the process of certain experience in the form of a report such assignments or call project work or project method. The literal meaning of the project is a scheme or design. It helps the students in experimental learning. • Project works help students plan observe analysis and synthesis. It aims to develop self learning habits in the students it provides real life experiences to them. It also aims at problem solving and also leads to personality attributes.
AIMS OF PROJECT WORK: Aims of project work and broadly be classified into the following categories: • Knowledge • Skills • Personality attributes: project work also developed personality attributes which may be higher mental abilities such as critical thinking, Creative Thinking, evaluate ability, analytical thinking, etc...and certain affective attributes like in most in the area of study, social sensitivity.
ROLE OF STUDENTS IN PROJECT WORK: • Planning stage • Implementation stage • Reporting/presentation stage
