Faculty members, teachers, administrators, and other professionals engage in designing curricula which structure the study and learning processes of students. History shows that university education has a long tradition of being centered around delivery of content to students.
Learning-Centred Curriculum Design in Higher Education is written to inspire and empower university teachers to take another approach and engage in curriculum design processes that centres both learning process and learning outcome of students. The book is structured by a central model of curriculum design, which links together learning (how students learn versus what students learn) and curriculum design (the process by which we design versus what we design). The book holds ten illustrative examples of learning-centred curriculum design spanning four approaches to curriculum design: 1. we structure our curriculum design process based on our understanding of how students learn 2. we structure our curriculum design process based on our perception of what students have to learn 3. we design our curriculum based on our understanding of how students learn 4. we design our curriculum based on our perception of what students have to learn The chapters are written by university faculty pioneering learning-centered activities in their respective curricula. The book is truly international as authors are from Denmark, England, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Turkey, and U.S.A. The beauty of this book is that it was written by reflective curriculum design practitioners, as they have experienced personal success with their curriculum (re)design processes. All chapters have been written with a Yes, we did it attitude.
