Five courses proposed by American scholar Goodrider

Hilda Taba, an American scholar, put forward five curriculum design models, emphasizing different learning objectives and teaching methods. Here are five courses proposed by Goodrider:

1. Subject-centered curriculum: centering on subject knowledge and concepts, cultivating students' subject literacy and thinking ability through systematic learning activities. The key point is to help students understand and master the basic principles and concepts of the subject.

2. Learner-centered curriculum: pay attention to students' individual differences and interests, and design courses with students as the center. Focus on cultivating students' autonomous learning ability, problem-solving ability and cooperation ability. Students can choose and plan their own learning contents and methods in the learning process.

3. Social reconstruction course: Stimulate students' social consciousness and sense of social responsibility through course content and teaching activities. Emphasis is placed on cultivating students' critical thinking and social participation ability, so that they can understand and solve social problems and promote social change and progress.

4. Problem-solving course: guided by problems in real life, let students learn knowledge and skills in the process of analyzing and solving problems. Emphasis is placed on cultivating students' spirit of inquiry, innovative thinking and problem-solving ability.

5. Experience course: promote learning through students' personal experience and practical activities. Attach importance to students' actual participation and interaction, and cultivate students' practical ability, cooperation ability and comprehensive quality through field visits, experiments and role-playing.

The role of these five curriculum design models in education

1. Provide diverse learning experiences: These curriculum design models encourage students to actively participate, experience and practice, and help them build a deep learning impression. Students combine knowledge with practice through practical operation, problem solving, cooperation and exchange. , thus improving the learning effect.

2. Cultivate comprehensive literacy: These models focus on cultivating students' abilities in critical thinking, innovative thinking, cooperation ability and social responsibility. By designing challenging learning tasks and projects, students are encouraged to actively explore, think and solve problems, and their comprehensive quality and ability are cultivated.

3. Emphasize individual differences and interests: The student-centered curriculum model pays attention to students' individual differences and interests and encourages students to learn independently. This can enhance students' learning enthusiasm and initiative and improve the learning effect.
