+1 862 207 3288 In this section, create a summary of each curriculum framework and its organisation and content. The summary should provide answers to the following key questions for EACH curriculum framework:
• What is included in the curriculum framework?
• What is the focus for learning specified in the curriculum framework?
• What information is given about what will be learned, when it will be learned and how it will be learned in each curriculum document?
• How will learning be assessed?
At the end of this summary, briefly identify the main similarities and differences in the approach to curriculum design taken for each document and explain why you think these differences have occurred. Suggest ways in which their organisation and key features will affect how the curriculum is used and implemented by teachers in schools or early learning sites.
3. Social, political and cultural influences
Provide a brief summary of “external factors” such as key social, political or cultural influences that you think have informed the development of each curriculum framework and compare and evaluate how successful each framework is in responding to the priorities for learning in the 21st century. Discuss any problems or issues that might affect the learning outcomes for different student groups as a result of these influences and back up your claims with examples and references from course readings or the curriculum documents.
