In my opinion, this chapter expands the concept of UbD planning to the broader sphere of entire curricula and programs. As the authors point out, the logical order in which one might lay out a summary of the knowledge in a given field is not usually the best order in which to present that material to a beginner.
I found this chapter to be a lot harder to get through than most of the previous chapters. The authors have already made their central points in the earlier portions of the book. They devote their attention to "scope and sequence" curriculum planning without ever defining it; and most of the ideas presented in the chapter have clearly been addressed earlier in the book.
After reading the assigned chapters, I am not sure if this kind of design would be suitable for my context.
I agree with you. Quite difficult to understand and put it into practice
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you.I think that UBD framework can be suitable guidelines in order to improve our Chilean education system. Although it cannot be applied as it is,adaptations should be done certainly.Moreover adding a bit of optimism and enthusiasm should be agood start.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because we really have to think first in our context, and our main goals otherwise this won´t work.
ReplyDeleteAlso there are so many factor we need to consider if we try to put into practice what the authors are saying, like time, tools among others...if we want to change something we need to be concious aboout it.
Yes.. we need to know what is real and what no... We need to have clear who we are teaching...
