1. Suggest four new subjects that should be added to the current curriculum
for a phase that you know or teach. Give reasons for your choices. (25)
1. Digital literacy and online safety: With the increasing reliance on technology and the
internet, it is important for students to learn about digital literacy and how to navigate the
online world safely. This includes understanding how to critically evaluate online
information, protect their privacy, and avoid cyberbullying and online scams.
2. Environmental sustainability: In light of the growing concern about climate change and
environmental degradation, it is essential for students to learn about the importance of
environmental sustainability. This subject can cover topics such as renewable energy,
waste management, and the impact of human activities on the environment.
3. Mental health and well-being: Mental health issues are becoming increasingly
prevalent among young people, and it is important for students to learn about mental
health and well-being. This subject can cover topics such as stress management, coping
strategies, and seeking help for mental health issues.
4. Financial literacy: Many students leave school without a basic understanding of
personal finance, which can lead to financial difficulties later in life. Therefore, adding a
subject on financial literacy can help students learn about budgeting, saving, investing,
and managing debt.
These subjects are important for equipping students with the knowledge and skills they
need to navigate the modern world and lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
2. Construct a concept map on the four curriculum studies perspectives and
approaches (pages15–18 of your textbook). A concept map shows the most
important concepts and how they are related to each other. A concept map
is not a mind map [see module page for more information]. (25)
