PME 810- Module 2: Philosophical Foundations of Education and Curriculum Design Planning

Here is the link to our design: https://www.mindomo.com/mindmap/6d26a960ebb34243945e6620486fcb92

In this module we looked at the philosophical foundations of education and how they relate to curriculum and curriculum design. We based our map around the Philosophies of Education and noted the division between the Contemporary and Traditional philosophies. Although the map may look confusing we made the decision to leave the philosophies in the middle as they are the core element to both the concepts of curriculum and curriculum design. "Philosophy becomes the criterion for determining the aims, means, and ends of curriculum" (Orenstein, 1990).

At the top of the map are the five concept of curriculums and their links to philosophies and at the bottom are the types of curriculum designs and their links to both the philosophies and concepts of curriculum.The three bars button to the right of each title will bring you to a description of each of the concepts.

We hope you enjoy exploring our concept map. Please leave and comments or questions in the comment section of the blog.

Thanks!
