Curriculum Development: 14.4.-16.6.2023
Topic outline
-
Before the first session there is a pre-assignment with two parts (2 individual tasks):
A) Individual reading task (article)
Get to know the article: Curriculum in higher education research (2016) by Johanna Annala, Jyri Lindén and Marita Mäkinen.
When reading the article, think how do you see your own programme/major in relation to the different curriculum approaches mentioned in the article? Be prepared to discuss the topic in our first session.
B) Reflect the description and the objectives of your curriculum
Take a moment to review your existing curriculum from these perspectives:
- Description of the programme / studies: how are the studies described? What is the purpose of the programme? Why is the programme important? Is the purpose of the programme clearly expressed?
- Objectives: What kind of educational goals can you recognize? Are they consistent with the programme purpose?
Write notes for yourself and prepare to share your findings at our first session with other participants. You can use these reflections in your project report, so save them for yourself.
