Curriculum Reform (ต่อ)
Curricula have traditionally focused on the scope and sequence of subject matter topics that are
to be covered within an educational program. These are codified as facts, concepts, principles,
and procedures related to mathematics, biology, history, language, and so on. Too often,
curricula are focused more at the lower-end, easier-to-teach-and-test range of this skill
continuum. Too often understanding key ideas is sacrificed to breadth of topics, as “coverage”
trumps depth. Too often schools stress the memorization of specific facts and procedures
outside of the context of their use in the real world and apart from the experiences that students
may bring with them to the classroom and the needs of communities to which they return.
