One of the
most

Characteristics of subject
centred design
Progress is measured
by how much of the
subject a pupil has
learnt

Each subject is a
distinct unit with own
organization
Subject matter is
selected before T&L
sessions

Learning is measured by how well the subject


matter has been mastered
Through frequent tests

Each teachers teaching different subjects do


not plan the courses together

Subject matter is taught in a logical organized


manner
Thus, content is selected before it is taught.
It is selected from the help of specialists,
supervisors, or textbook writers

Characteristics of subject

Example: English Textbook
Four skills are being emphasized in each

Reasons for using Subject


Centered Curriculum
The teacher knows what is expected
of him to teach. The students also
know what is expected of them.
Its evaluation is very easy.
Achievement based testing is the
only type of evaluation needed for
the mastery of the subject matter.

Reasons for using Subject Centered


Curriculum
It has a bright future. Subject approach is
useful for specialization in any branch of
knowledge. The continued increase in the
store of human knowledge will cause
specialization to become more effective.
This type of curriculum is more appropriate
for intellectual development
