FAQ
Learning design is the theory behind teaching. It helps teachers plan and deliver lessons that follow a specific educational style, theory or approach. Learning design can help teachers to:
- Analyse a subject and educational approach
- Design a tailored teaching plan
- Implement the plan
- Evaluate its success and adapt based on findings
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.
