Designing for a Knowledge Rich Curriculum

What makes a curriculum ‘knowledge rich’? I use the Curriculum Design Coherence Model (CDC Model) to show that a claim for ‘richness’ requires design methods which integrate  concepts, content and competencies in a logically cohering way.

The presentation includes an overview of the CDC Model with a description of each of its four Elements.  The Elements’ connections are the mechanism for achieving coherence within a school topic and for students to progress in their understanding from one school year to the next. I use examples from several school subjects, including Science, History, English, and Physical Education at various year levels.

Finally I discuss how the Model’s design protects against the limitations of both content-list and competency-based approaches.

In het kort: Een verlengde schooldag vereist samenwerking tussen scholen en externe organisaties, zoals sportverenigingen en culturele instellingen, om een kwalitatief programma te ontwikkelen. In deze workshop bespreken we hoe samenwerking kan bijdragen aan een sterk aanbod en welke (rand)voorwaarden volgens onderzoek belangrijk zijn voor succes in de praktijk.
In het kort: Do you care about textbooks? You should! A good textbook could make a difference for a teachers’ teaching and for a students’ studying. Cognitive sciences have set general principles that may guide us in a textbook preparation, selection, and use.
In het kort: Om de uitdagingen in het onderwijs het hoofd te bieden, moet je als collectief aan de slag!
