Saylor, Alexander and Lewis’s Curriculum Development Model for Islamic Education in Schools

This study aims to identify the curriculum development model by Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis for Islamic education and its implications in schools. This study applied qualitative approach and literature study methods. The results of this study indicate that the curriculum is in line with the times. The curriculum also develops to meet the demands of current education systems. To achieve a goal in the educational process requires a design in implementation. Therefore, the curriculum is a design in which there are systematically designed programs to set a goal. Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis consider curriculum as the efforts of schools to influence students to learn, both in the classroom, on the schoolyard, and outside the school. Therefore, there are various demands that Islamic education must be able to answer those needs. Islamic Education is a vast subject in schools. It needs to be selected for its material and developed according to the needs and competencies of students and has use of value for students. Systematically, this paper implies that it tries to provide an overview of the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis curriculum models and can guide carrying out activities and their implementation in Islamic education.

Options in a task-based language-teaching curriculum

I draw on the education literature to describe four educational curriculum models, which serve as a basis for presenting four TBLT curricula based on the proposals of Prabhu (1987); Willis (1996), Long (1985, 2015a, 2015b) and myself (Ellis, 2003 and 2019) – all of which have figured in the development of TBLT. I propose a set of questions that can be used to evaluate these models. I then turn to examine the curriculum design process, identifying options in TBLT curricula that are available at each stage of the process. I point to a tension that exists between what SLA theory indicates is needed and what environmental constraints make feasible and conclude with a plea for flexibility by weighing up which options are appropriate in different teaching situations. I also summarize how I see TBLT benefitting from adopting a broad education perspective that includes critical language pedagogy.

Cobertura del nuevo Plan de Estudios para el Ingeniero de Software de la UADY: Un Análisis desde la óptica de la ANIEI

En este artículo se presenta un análisis para la cobertura del nuevo Plan de Estudios de la Licenciatura en Ingeniería de Software de la Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY), respecto de los Modelos curriculares propuestos por la Asociación Nacional de Instituciones de Educación en Tecnologías de Información (ANIEI). Del análisis se pudo identificar la dificultad de establecer equivalencias al medir el esfuerzo de aprendizaje de los estudiantes en horas presenciales y no presenciales, con respecto al plan de enseñanza diseñado por los profesores para los alumnos, definido en horas teóricas y prácticas. El artículo presenta fortalezas y debilidades del Plan de Estudios, en relación con la cobertura de las áreas de conocimiento consideradas en los modelos de la ANIEI, en particular, en el perfil “B” que se corresponde con el de Ingeniero de Software. This article presents an analysis for the coverage of the new Curriculum Models of the Bachelor in Software Engineering of the Autonomous University of Yucatan (UADY), regarding the Curricular Models proposed by the National Association of Information Technology Education Institutions (ANIEI). From the analysis, it was possible to identify the difficulty of establishing equivalences when measuring the learning effort of the students in face-to-face and non-face-toface hours, with respect to the teaching plan designed by the teachers for the students, defined in theoretical and practical hours. Also, the article presents strengths and weaknesses of the Curriculum, in relation to the coverage of the areas of knowledge considered in the ANIEI models, in particular, in the "B" profile corresponding to that of Software Engineer.

MENINGKATKAN KUALITAS PEMBELAJARAN DAN PENGAJARAN MELALUI MODEL KURIKULUM YANG EFISIEN

Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior or potential behavior as a result of experience. Learning is the interaction between stimulus and response. These issues are very useful when reviewed as follows: What is the meaning of Learning and Teaching? What are the methods for improving the Quality of Learning and Teaching? How to Improve the Quality of Learning and Teaching through an Efficient Curriculum Model? The answers to the problems are: (1) the notion of learning and teaching is a different concept even though it is a process of change in the learning structure, which involves teachers, students and educational infrastructure. (2) methods to improve the quality of learning and teaching are to improve the quality are: communication of learning and teaching, collaboration, and developing various forms of learning. (3) improving the quality of learning and teaching through efficient curriculum models are: the Ralp W. Tyler curriculum model, the Hilda Taba curriculum model, the Peter Oliva curriculum model, or the Muray Print curriculum model.Abstrak: Belajar merupakan perubahan yang relatif permanen dalam perilaku atau potensi perilaku sebagai hasil dari pengalaman. Belajar adalah interaksi antara stimulus dan respon. Persoalan-persoalan tersebut sangatlah berguna bila dikaji kembali sebagai berikut: Apakah pengertian Pembelajaran dan Pengajaran? Bagaimanakah kaedah-kaedah untuk meningkatkan Kualitas Pembelajaran dan Pengajaran? Bagaimanakah Meningkatkan Kualitas Pembelajaran dan Pengajaran melalui Model Kurikulum yang Efisien? Jawaban persoalan adalah: (1) pengertian Pembelajaran dan Pengajaran merupakan suatu konsep yang berbeda meski menjadi proses perubahan dalam struktur belajar, yang melibatkan pengajar, pelajar, dan prasarana pendidikan. (2) kaedah-kaedah untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran dan pengajaran adalah dengan meningkatkan kualitas adalah: komunikasi pembelajaran dan pengajaran, kolaborasi, dan mengembangkan bentuk pembelajaran yang bervariasi. (3) meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran dan pengajaran melalui model-model kurikulum yang efisien adalah: model kurikulum Ralp W.Tyler, model kurikulum Hilda Taba, model kurikulum Peter Oliva, atau model kurikulum Muray Print.

Enacting a new curriculum models-based framework supported by digital technology within a learning community

Current cutting-edge research conveys that pedagogical change using models-based practice and integration of digital technology (DT) to enable teaching and learning is most successful when supported by a learning community. Overall, the research literature acknowledges that empowering teachers to believe in themselves and their ability to tackle these new curricular and pedagogical practices is key for successful implementation. Nevertheless, enactment of a new curriculum models (CMs)-based framework, supported by DT, has not yet been researched. Six physical education teachers with different teaching backgrounds and experience using DT for teaching and learning agreed to participate. Four phases were designed to develop teachers’ CMs pedagogical knowledge and technological pedagogical content knowledge as part of a collaborative, inquiry-oriented learning community. Individual and focus group interviews, and weekly critical friend discussions were used to gather teachers’ and students’ perceptions of their experience. Four themes reflecting phases one and two of the data appeared and evolved 18 months later and included planning, community, student learning, and the Phyz (app). The key take home message from this research highlights the power of a well-planned and structured inquiry-oriented learning community, its impact on empowering teachers to enact a new CMs-based framework, and the student learning that emerged.
