Hi HE teachers-to-be! I was talking to my friend about teaching, curriculum planning etc and i just want to jot some thoughts and share with you guys.
After the first few sessions on FCS curriculum,my takeaway is that teachers are called to be designers who plan lessons to fit into framework. We would set lesson objectives/aim but at the end the day we must assess the students whether they can apply what they have learnt. To me, i think we might fall into the trap that we become too focused on only trying to fit our lessons into the framework and forget to create relevance to our teaching for meaningful learning. So as i was thinking about how i want my classroom/lesson to be like in future, i thought i want a classroom without walls.
What do i mean by that? I hope learning can take place beyond the physical boundaries of a classroom. For example, if i'm teaching about poultry and different parts of chicken, i want to bring students to the supermarket to learn how to buy ingredients to cook a dish. In this way, they are not limited to just looking at pictures and at the same time they learn how to be an informed consumer too when it comes to grocery shopping.
So as i present my classroom without walls, i know there are limitations too but do you think i can match my teaching to the frameworks we have learnt about?
