PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH IN AN ACTIVITY AND CHILD-CENTERED CURRICULUM

CURRICULUM •Is a Latin word that means “race”. It derives from the verb currere which means to “fly or to
proceed”. The academic material taught in a school is referred to as the curriculum.
•It is a list of principles that should be taught to the pupils for them to follow the content requirements.
•The curriculum is described in education as the aggregate of all the pupils experiences that occur during the
educational process.
•It also refers to a structured and interactive method of instruction and learning with unique goals, content,
methods, metrics and resources aligned with the school instructional objectives.
•So without curriculum, no formal, non-formal or informal education can occur. There will be no instruction in the
classroom, if there is no program, teachers will have nothing to do.
•In the classroom and school, every teacher is led by a curriculum.

Defining Activity–and child–centered curriculum

•A modern approach to curriculum creation is an activity centered curriculum.


•It is a reaction to the conventional curriculum, which was either subject-centered curriculum or dominated by
teachers.
•Were in the idea of activity centered learning was born out of child-centered curriculum and activity movement.
•Child centered education necessitates the child active participation in the educational process.

John Dewey •“The activity curriculum is a constant flow of activities for children, unbreakable by systematic
subjects and springing from the childs desire and felt needs ”The framers of Wardha Scheme of Education
•“We’ve attempted to draft an activity curriculum that means that our school should be places of work, creativity,
and exploration rather than passive absorption”
•The subject matter is addressed by exercises in an activity centered program and experiences is the productof the
purposeful activities completed.
•All other educationalist and psychologist such as John Dewey, Piaget Tagore, Gandhi and Aurobindo have
emphasized the importance of “learning through doing”.

Child-Centered Curriculum

•The Child-centered curriculum empowers pupils to take control of their education. The teachers job is to
encourage and promote children's learning, but it is the children's natural curiosity, interest and enthusiasm that
decide the course of their learning.
•In terms of achieving learning objectives and goals, children serve as co-creator with teacher.
•A child-centered curriculum emphasized piquing children's interest and empowering them to take an active role
inlearning, as well as encouraging emotional investment that allows them to dig deeper into the lessons.
•By encouraging children's to innovate and learn as they explore, a child centered curriculum aids their growth of
independence, responsiveness and trust.
•A child-centered program, however has flaws. Teachers often struggle to come up with activities that can respond
to evolving child development concepts.
