Discipline Designed

Curriculum

What is Discipline Designed Curriculum?

Discipline based design focuses on the academic disciplines.

It is similar to the subject

design. However, the students

"experience" the disciplines

which leads to better

comprehension and understanding.

The discipline design engages the students so they can analyze the curriculum and draw conclusions. It helps students to master the content area and in turn increase independent learning.

According to Bruner, the discipline design clarifies the relationship between beginning knowledge and advanced knowledge. This will allow the students to gain meaning and advance through the content.

The discipline design has been criticized for several reasons.

  • It adapts the student to the curriculum and not vice versa.
  • It assumes all students have a similar learning style.
  • It leaves out important knowledge and material that cannot be classified in a particuluar discipline.
