Components Necessary to Design a Curriculum for Pre School

For the students of age 2 to 5, the preschool policy makers and the stakeholders come across a variety of a curriculum related decision. They include the selection of a curriculum for a preschool program or generation of a list of recommended curricula from which the program can be chosen, they need to evaluate the suitability of the curriculum already in use (Hodkinson, 2005). The specific objectives or vertebral Physical Education are focused on the capabilities of students in their ability and interests and is maintained throughout the school year or period of education, because they are considered fundamental and intrinsic psycho-biological nature of the child and adolescent develop with the young, as the content of physical education are derived from the nature human, as human nature itself is physical activity and the movement itself. Therefore, the inclusion of physical education in the curricula is also a priority today (Hodkinson, 2005).

Implementation of Philosophy and Curricula

There are several methods which can be implemented in for the young children.

Direct Instruction Curriculum

This is the approach that stemmed from the social learning theories that view learning as mostly the input by the environment. In this approach the etcher presents the information to the class of children in whole groups and uses structures. Practice lessons, and drills that are fast paced and teach discrete skills and facts in small steps which involve the frequent praise (Hashweh, 2005).

Socialization Curriculum

It is based on maturation list theory that leads to a classroom or socialization curriculum. This theory derives from the belief that children should direct their own learning and will learn when the teachers are nurturing and provide stimulating support and material for children's choice. The main goal of curricula is based on this approach of socialization (Hashweh, 2005).

Constructivist Curriculum

This implementation falls in between the first two approaches and comes from the constructivist theory of Piaget. The adherents of the constructivist curricula view learning as an active example between the child and the environment. In this model, the teachers initiate the design3d activities to foster the reasoning and problem solving abilities among children. They also interact with children during the activities to add new ideas and enhance learning (Engeström, Miettinen, Punamaki, 2004).
