About the Course
Course Description
Principles and strategies for planning of new curricula and modifying existing ones. Development of a total curricular plan in a specific area of interest of the learner.
“Curriculum is a process that requires time, energy and commitment of the planner. Learning how to design courses and curricula is even more demanding. When teachers know how to design educational programs, their educational undertakings may be more or less successful. An important question for them is whether rules exist making the outcomes of planning predictable. Obviously, this in turn proves or questions the degree of scientific knowledge needed to design education.
Perceptive teachers may begin to recognize underlying principles of curriculum design, or develop their own theories about the way to teach and what to teach. At best elements of personal insights are coupled with theoretically grounded professional insight.” (Gijselaers et al)In this course you will learn how to plan, design and analyze a curriculum of a health professions education course.
