Curriculum Context and Knowledge
As we examine the factors and theories that influence curriculum development process, we will need to examine the contextual factors and knowledge of the participants.
Students in HPE 720 will examine their curriculum contexts and curriculum knowledge before starting on curriculum design and evaluation.
Students will visit a school/coaching practice at least twice to observe their classes/practices, have an informal interview with the instructor/coach to describe the factors that influence their current curriculum/program knowledge and context (see sample interview questions).
Based on your observation and the voices you have heard, write a report on the curriculum/program context and knowledge:
(1). Curriculum/program resources: such as curriculum/program guide, textbooks, and supplied lesson/training/practice plans etc.
(2). Teacher/coach's curriculum/program knowledge including curriculum/program and instruction/coaching models
(3). Teachers' voices, whether it works for him/her, types of curriculum/program support in the school, factor/foundations of program, and what areas need to change...
(4).Your observation, reflective notes, thoughts, and discussion based on literature and the local school/program context.
Requirements
(1). The report should be written in APA 6 format with proper citations.
