Education & Training: Curriculum Design, Theories, and ESOL Skills

This report delves into the design of curriculum within the context of education and training, emphasizing the importance of proper guidelines for learners to attain better knowledge and lifelong learning. It highlights key presentation outcomes such as curriculum design, needs identification, and skills improvement, particularly in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages). The analysis incorporates theories like Piaget's cognitive development and Skinner's behaviorism to inform curriculum activities, alongside Tyler's model for curriculum development. Key principles such as challenge, breadth, and relevance are considered, with a focus on national policies and vocational standards. The report also discusses differences in curriculum approaches for diverse students and evaluates the effectiveness of the designed curriculum in improving ESOL skills and meeting various student needs. The conclusion reviews the outcomes, noting the enhancement of ESOL skills and the learning of curriculum techniques and models. Desklib provides access to similar solved assignments and resources for students.

Education and Training
Part E (Task 9)

Introduction
Education and training requires proper guidelines from
an individual so that learner can attain better knowledge.
Education and training techniques provides an life long
learning about number of aspects that can enhance the
professional opportunities.

Presentation outcome
 Design of curriculum
 Needs identification
 Skills improvement

Curriculum
It is considered as the subjects comprising a course of study in
a school or college. It is also refereed as study programme in
which teacher is involved in order to meet the standards of
professional skills.
In addition to this, it can be said that my curriculum is
educational programme for age group of 14-19. In other aspect, I
am ESOL teacher and provide educational learning to children's
between the age range of 14-19.

Analysis of theories and model
There are number of theories that can be used to have effective
designing of curriculum activities. Piaget theory of curriculum is based on the
idea that provides an opportunity to develop children's cognitive structure. It
improves the learning skills and understanding among children. Formal
operation helps in creating cognitive structure among age group of 11-19.
Moreover, Skinner radical behaviourism is most essential technique to
improve skills of students. In this, nature of the consequences can be
modified as per behaviour of student. It means the learning of students can
reinforce by assessing behavioural aspects. In Tyler model of curriculum
development, I will focus on purpose of institution, my educational
experience and evaluation of other supportive factors.

Principles of curriculum
It is necessary for me to focus on key principles of
curriculum such as challenge, breadth, progression, depth,
relevance, etc.
Principles must be considered in appropriate manner as
per needs of children's age group. Practice and evaluation
also require consideration of diverse needs.

Model of my curriculum
 I will focus on national policies and vocational standards
in order to design curriculum.
 Intellectual process will facilitate me to implement
curriculum activities in most appropriate manner.

Differences in curriculum
approach
 I will use different curriculum approach while dealing with
diverse students.
 It is essential for me to consider purpose of institution
while selecting the curriculum approach.
 Needs and expectations of student can be differ so I must
focus on various skills of ESOL.

Effectiveness of curriculum
 Designed curriculum has improved the skills of students.
 It has provided better opportunity to improve overall
ESOL skills.
 Various needs of different students has accomplished.

Review of outcomes
 Number of skills improved
 Proper learning of curriculum techniques and models
 Enhanced level of ESOL skills.
