Each curriculum is designed according to the subject matter and method of delivery. However, some of the most common curriculum design models include:
Subject-centred: Focuses on one subject (e.g. English language, mathematics, biology), with a predetermined list of topics, guidance on how to deliver the information and a plan to assess the outcome.
Problem-centred: Identifies problems in the real world and challenges students to come up with solutions. Through this model, students are encouraged to explore and reference a variety of disciplines and subjects.
Learner-centred: Designed with different learning styles and abilities in mind, this model allows the students to make choices about the way they want to approach the material.
