5.3.1 Creating Curriculum Components (CCs) Part 1

After completing the course-level design by establishing the three core elements of the Learning Design Triangle (LDT), weto have definedestablish the intendedcontextual framework for the entire learning outcomes, disciplinary practice, and pedagogical approach. Next,design, we will explore how to develop Curriculum Components (CCs) and learning tasks that align with these elements, ensuringtransforming overarching design concepts into actionable teaching practices. For a cohesivedetailed coursetheoretical structure.explanation Forof moreCurriculum onComponents how(CC), asee CC relates to the LDT, see Chapter 2.5 -– Curriculum Component (CC)Sequence.

The following instructions will guide you in creating the first CC for your learning design.

Step 2: Mapping the LDT Elements to the CC

  • Below is the interface of the CC Builder with completed details.

  • Please read the introduction below to guide you in creating a CC.

1. CC Name

  

💡Formula of naming a CC

Through the the 1)   focal activity(ies) task(s) to to 2) achieve the intended learning outcome(s)outcome to  to 3) implement the workflow step(s) of a disciplinary practice for  for 4) applying the focus or foci of the pedagogical approach.

  

  • E.g. Through Through 1) stimulus observation and conducting interviews with the elderly to 2) understand their unique needs and daily challenges to 3) identify problems for 4) goal-setting.

  

2. Workflow steps

  • The workflow steps of Engineering Design are drawn from the Disciplinary Practice (DP) section you completed previously.
  • SinceSelect we"Identify areproblem" atfor thethis beginning stage of the learning process, we aim to focus on the initial step of DP, i.e. identify problem.CC.

3. Pedagogical foci

  • The pedagogical foci of Self-directed Learning are drawn from the Pedagogical Approach section you completed previously.
  • WeSelect will"Goal-setting" choosefor thethis pedagogical focus that can support the selected workflow step, i.e. Goal-setting.CC.

4. Linked Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)

  

  • Finally, we will select the ILOs we want to achievebe achieved in the CC, ensuring they align with the chosen workflow steps of disciplinary practice and pedagogical approach.approach This will completewithin the LDTspecific andphase finishof thelearning.

4.2 Selecting the Appropriate ILOs

E.g.

  • Identify the unique needs and challenges that elderly face in their daily lives.
  • Demonstrate openness to elderly perspectives in design discussions.  

  

4.3 The Alert Icon and Complete Icon

Figure 5.33: Unassessed ILOs in a CC

  

  • For each learning outcome, you should add an assessment to evaluate student performance. If an assessment has not been added to a learning outcome, an alert icon image.png will appear as a reminder. Once an assessment is assigned, this will be replaced with a complete icon icon image.png. We will discuss how to assign assessmentsan assessment in the next section.
