Reflection in week 2

In week 2, I have learned about the curriculum and pedagogy definitions. For what i understand is the term curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content taught in a school or in a specific course or program. In other sides, curriculum also something that what can and should taught. Depending on how broadly educators define or employ the term, curriculum typically refers to the knowledge and skills students are expected to learn, which includes the learning standards or learning objectives they are expected to meet; the units and lessons that teachers teach; the assignments and projects given to students; the books, materials, videos, presentations, and readings used in a course; and the tests, assessments, and other methods used to evaluate student learning. An individual teacher’s curriculum, for example, would be the specific learning standards, lessons, assignments, and materials used to organize and teach a particular course.



While the pedagogy is the art, science or profession of teaching. In the other meaning, pedagogy also defined as the exploration of effective teaching and learning strategies. Effective teacher should have a rich understanding of the subjects they teach and appreciate how knowledge in their subject is created, organised, linked to other disciplines and applied to real world-setting. I also learned about the three ways of thinking about teaching which is teaching skills, teaching model and teaching 
relationship.
