Weaknesses
First, time can be wasted working on skills which may never be mastered. Second, not all behaviors in the sequence are necessary for independent functioning nor are they age appropriate as the child grows well beyond the age that development skills are typically mastered. Finally, the child is viewed as "developmentally young". Consequently, the activities and materials used for intervention continue to be less than age appropriate which leads to negative perceptions and low expectations for children with severe disabilities.
Advantages
It promotes teaching skills that are age-appropriate and relevant to the student's daily life, while it respects the need to teach skills in order of progressive refinement and complexity (Rainforth, et al., 1992). It encourages the use of adaptations that accommodate the disability or simplify task demands. The ecological approach also tends to unify team member efforts because the environments and activities that are identified as priorities for each student provide a natural context for integrating related services.
Learner-Centered
Focus is on both students and instructor Instructor models; students interact with instructor and one another Students work in pairs, in groups, or alone depending on the purpose of the activity Students talk without constant instructor monitoring Students have some choice of topics Students answer each others questions, using instructor as an information resource Classroom is often noisy and busy Students evaluate their own learning; instructor also evaluates
Instructor monitors and corrects every student utterance Instructor chooses topics Instructor answers students questions about language Classroom is quite Instructor evaluates student learning
Integrated Curriculum
Integrated curriculum refers to a noncompartmentalized approach, e.g. In general science learning, as opposed to separate subjects such as
Physics, Chemistry and Biology
Integrated Curriculum
Integrated curriculum is a learning theory describing a movement toward integrated lessons helping students makes connections across curriculum. The approach should be viewed as a tool that can help educate students and engage them in the learning process. It is not an end itself.
Integrated Curriculum
Integrated curriculum is basically adding another element to existing materials or activities. What usually ends up happening is the child adds that element to their play or exploration. And that stimulates more curiosity and possibilities, which exercises their thinking skills.
Integrated Curriculum
According to Beane, 1995, Educators seem especially interested in the development and use of curriculum integration as a means of increasing student interest and student knowledge
Integrated Curriculum
Whenever possible, teacher work to integrate many subject areas under a common theme when teaching.
For example, the second grade unit about insects in science may include reading Going To Be A Butterfly for reading, and graphing students favorite insects for math. Instead of seeing learning as separate subjects unrelated to each other, children gain a deeper understanding of overall knowledge and how it all relates.
Integrated Curriculum
Teachers of different subjects within an existing curriculum can determine collectively the extent to which other domains are addressed already in their teaching and learning programs (for example, Thinking, ICT, Interpersonal Learning, etc. within English, or History, etc.)
Core Curriculum
Core refers to the heart of experiences every learner must go through. Or Fundamental knowledge that all students are required to learn in school. A core curriculum is a curriculum, or course of study, which is deemed central and usually made mandatory for all students of a school or school system.
Core Curriculum
This is not an independent type of curriculum. It refers to the area of study, courses or subjects that students must understand in order to be recognized as educated in the area. The learner has no option but to study the prescribed course or subjects.
Educators defines
A core curriculum is a predetermined body of skills, knowledge, and abilities is taught to all students. As in mathematics(in Arithmetic), all pupils need to acquire proficiency in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It contains core or exact precise subject matter, usable in society.
Hidden Curriculum
The messages of hidden curriculum may support or contradict each other as well as the written curriculum. For example, while school social studies curriculum typically emphasizes and even celebrates democratic political systems and principles, such as one person-one vote, majority rule and minority rights, separation of church and state, equality before the law, and due process, these principles are not always practiced in public school classrooms and corridors.
Collateral Curriculum
The collateral curriculum is designed intentionally to afford students the opportunity to learn empowering concepts, principles, and ideas peripheral or outside the subject being taught. Though the teacher intends learning outcomes for the collateral curriculum, the knowledge is not specified in the instructional objectives nor is it assessed. In this sense, the collateral curriculum is a planned hidden curriculum.
Null Curriculum
The null curriculum is that which is not taught in schools. Eisner (1994) suggests that what curriculum designers and/or teachers choose to leave out of the curriculum the null curriculumsends a covert message about what is to be valued (p. 96-97).
Null Curriculum
What children dont learn is as important as what they do learn. What the curriculum neglects is as important as what it teaches (Eisner). Curriculum design has become more an issue of deciding what you wont teach as well as what you will teach. You cannot do it all. As a designer, you must choose the essential (Jacobs, 1997, p. 27).
Spiral curriculum
Bruner (1960) wrote, A curriculum as it develops should revisit this basic ideas repeatedly, building upon them until the student has grasped the full formal apparatus that goes with them (p. 13).
