Reflection 4: psychological foundations of curriculum
The Definition Psychological foundations of curriculum
Psychology is concerned with the question of how people learn. It also proved a bass for understanding the teaching a learning process. Both processes are essential to curricular ists, for it its only when students learn and understand the curriculum and gain knowledge and power to use it that the curriculum has actual worth.
The three major theories of learning that influenced curriculum development :
1) Behavioral psychology
2) Cognitive psychology
3) Humanistic psychology
From what I learn from this three major theories, I agree that each theory do help curriculum workers to use in their own way. The three major theories of learning are very useful to improve the curriculum on the learning process.
