Cheat Sheet Subject Centered Design

This document discusses subject-centered curriculum design which focuses on teaching specific subject matter through the expertise of subject teachers. It emphasizes acquiring predetermined facts and skills within each subject area. While this is the most common model, it can restrict creativity and integration across subjects. The document outlines four types of subject-centered design: 1) individual subject design, 2) discipline design used in colleges, 3) correlation design integrating two subjects, and 4) broad field design integrating three or more subjects. Both advantages around structure and mastery and disadvantages like limiting thinking are presented.
