The field of education has witnessed the implementation of various curriculum design models over the years, each

with
its unique approach and philosophy. In my experience as an educator, I have encountered various types of curriculum design
models being used or implemented at NQCI. Each model has its own strengths and weaknesses, and it is important to
understand the different approaches to curriculum design to effectively plan and deliver instruction.

One of the most traditional models is the subject-centered design model, which focuses on the content of the
curriculum. This model is the most familiar to teachers, parents, and students, as it is often based on textbooks written for the
specific subject. However, this model can sometimes overlook students' natural interests and experiences. Last 2019 there is a
virus that spread all over the world and because of this it had a big impact on our education systems, due to the pandemic the
textbook was replaced by the module. The teachers focus on the module containing a selected lesson, that they think students
need to know more about it without knowing students struggled seeking more knowledge because the lessons that they gave to
us weren’t enough.

Another model is the learner-centered design model, which focuses on the learners' individuality on how they will learn
a thing in their ways with the teacher as only the facilitator. The child-centered design is attributed to influential thinkers like
John Dewey, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, and Froebel and is anchored on the needs and interests of the child. This model considers the
needs and interests of the learners and empowers them to shape their own learning. At NQCI as I mentioned earlier the
pandemic caused a lot of us, the textbooks become module. Therefore, when our teacher gives the module to us, we must start
reading it. When we were having a face-to-face session or online discussion, they did not explain or give enough knowledge that
we totally needed due to the lack of time, that’s why we started to search and learned by ourselves. But even if we are having a
lack of time on our discussion there’s still a good effect, because of this it helps to enhance and shape our own learning. And find
ways to understand each lesson by ourselves.

Overall, understanding the different types of curriculum design models and their strengths and weaknesses can help
educators design effective and engaging instruction that meets the needs and interests of their learners.
