Module 2: Philosophical Foundations of Education and Curriculum Design Planning

 

Rhonda and I created a Prezi to present the knowledge, key concepts and relationships between the Conceptions of Curriculum from Module 1 and Philosophical Theories and Curriculum Designs from Module 2. Our visual begins with a concrete background to represent the “foundations” on which we are building our knowledge. The bubbles surrounding the lightbulb are messy yet connected, representing the imperfect thought process required to come to a place of deep understanding. Finally, the pathway between the smaller bubbles leads to the “Summary” bubble at the top, where you will find our final thoughts and connections.

    Our visual begins with a brief revisit to the conceptions of curriculum, explaining each concept in using scholarly evidence. From here, we go on to outline the connections between the Philosophical Foundations and the Conceptions. This is done through a web, then a Popplet visual. After this, the Prezi will take you through the various Curriculum Designs, and the connections we made between them and the Conceptions, again using a web and Popplet visual. Finally, our map’s summary bubble connects all three aspects - the Designs, Philosophies and Conceptions using a clear and succinct table.

Here is the link to our Prezi:

I hope you enjoy! I look forward to seeing the visuals that you create, and learning from you all!
