So far in this series of blogs, I have discussed some theoretical frameworks and then, using the properties of matter strand of physics looked at how the policy and programmatic curricula in a jurisdiction could be set out to support effective classroom curriculum making by teachers and groups of teachers working collaboratively. Figure 1: The…

In this blog I would like to consider the purpose and content of a properties of matter strand in a science curriculum. It follows on from the previous blogs in the series where I set out some theoretical background, a case study from early in my career, and some observations from analysing curricula from different…

In the first two blogs in this series, I have discussed some of the theoretical frameworks that can be used in curriculum and instructional design and then a case study describing the development of a research informed unit on the particle theory of matter. In this blog I would like to consider curriculum design relating…

In my previous blog, the first in a short series, I set out some background to the process of curriculum making and instructional design. In this next instalment I will describe a significant piece of research-informed curriculum and instructional design I undertook relatively early in my career in the early 1990s. I think lessons can…

This is the first in a short series of linked blogs where I muse on curriculum making and instructional design. I will provide some theoretical background as an introduction and then in subsequent blogs delve more deeply into some aspects in detail. Reflecting my background, most of the detail will be in the context of…
