EDUCATION (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -A curriculum framework is an organized plan or set of standards or learning outcomes that defines the content to be learned in terms of clear, definable standards of what the student should know and be able to do. A curriculum framework is part of an outcome-based education or standards based education reform design.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Integrated Curriculum Design Framework (ICDF) is an overarching framework that consists of a three-phased approach to curriculum design, guiding programme teams to pro-actively design, develop and deliver a holistic and innovative curriculum for our learners, industry and economy.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is why a curriculum framework is important. It sets the subjects within these wider contexts and shows how learning experiences within the subjects need to contribute to the attainment of the wider goals. A Curriculum framework is a supportive structure to help schools to plan and develop their own curriculum.

Detailed explanation-4: -From a UDL perspective, we think of four components to a curriculum: the goals, the methods, the materials, and the assessment. They are very closely interrelated in that the goal is the primary thing with which a lesson begins and the others line up to achieve that goal.

Detailed explanation-5: -The curriculum development process can be categorized into five basic steps: 1) needs assessment, 2) the planning session, 3) content development, 4) pilot delivery and revision, and 5) the completed curriculum package. The ideal situation is to have, at a minimum, 12-18 months to design and develop a curriculum.
