The document discusses several learner-centered curriculum design models:
1. The learner-centered design places the learner at the center of the educational process and considers their needs, interests, and environment. This includes child-centered and experience-centered designs.
2. The problem-centered design draws on social problems and interests of learners, with content cutting across subjects. This includes life-situations design and core design, which focus on common human activities and problems.
3. The core curriculum design presented by Faunce and Bossing involves selecting a problem, reaching consensus, defining the problem, deciding areas of study, obtaining and analyzing information, and presenting conclusions.

Curriculum Design Models
Part 2 2. Learner - Centered Desi gn
Among the progressive educational
psychologists, the learner is the center of the educative process. This emphasis is very strong in the elementary level, however more concern has been placed on the secondary and even the tertiary levels. a. Child - Centered Design
The curriculum design is anchored on
the needs and interests of the child. The learner is not considered as a passive individual but as one who engages with his/her environment. Learning is a product of the child's interaction with the environment. This design is often attributed to the influence of:
John Dewey Rousseau Pestallozi Froebel
b. Experience - Centered Design
This design is similar to the child -
centered design. Although, the child remains to be the focus, experience-centered design believes that interests and needs of learners cannot be pre-planned. Instead, experienceds of the learners become the starting point of the curriculum. c. Humanistic design
In a humanistic curriculum design, the
development of self is the ultimate objective of learning. It stresses the whole person and the integration of thinking, feeling and doing. It considers the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains to be interconnected and must be addressed in the curriculum. Abraham Maslow's Theory of self-actualiz ation explains that a person who achieves this level is accepting of self, others and nature; is simple, spontaneous and natural; open to different experiences; possesses emphaty and sympathy towards the less fortunate, among many others.
Maslow's theory of self-actualization Carl Rogers
Person can enhance
self-directed learning by improving self understanding and basic attitudes to guide behavior. 3. Problem-Centered Desig n
- draws on social problems, needs,
interest and abilities of the learners. Various problems are given emphases. In this curriculum, content cuts across subject boundaries and must be based on the needs, concerns and abilities of the students. a. Life-situations design
What makes the design unique is
that the contents are organized in ways that allow students to clearly view problem areas clearly. It uses the past and the present experiences of learners as a means to analyze the basic areas of living. b. Core Design
It centers on general education and
the problems are based on common human activities. The central focus of the core design includes common needs, problems, concerns of the learners. The Core Curriculum Design FAUNCE AND BOSSING (1959) -presented ways on how to proceed following a core design of a curriculum as follows:
1. The problem is selected by 4. The problem is clearly
either the teacher or stated and define. students. 5. Areas of study are decided, 2. A group consensus is including dividing the class by made to identify the individual or group interests. important problems and 6. needed information is listed interest of the class. and discussed. 3. Problems are selected on 7. Resources for obtaining the basis of developed information are listed and criteria for selection. discussed. 8. Information is obtained 11. A report is presented to and organized. the class on an individual or 9. Information is analyzed group basis. and interpreted. 12. Conclusions are 10. Tentative conclusions evaluated. are stated and tested. 13. New avenues of exploration toward for the problem solving are examined. THANK YOU!
