Module 5

My thoughts are pedagogy curriculum will continue to exist. Although everyone in America is entitled to an education; however, educating children is compulsive to the American norm. Adult education is voluntarily. Northeastern Illinois University (2006), adds (as cited in Muirhead, 2007) “adults are more interested in learning subjects that have immediate relevance to their jobs or their personal life, and adult learning is problem-centered rather than content orientated”.

Yes, many adults stand to learn contents of a given subject; nevertheless, I am not certainly clear that a pedagogy curriculum should be totally transition to an androgogy curriculum.

Online courses are convenient for many, have advantages, and disadvantages. Due to limited interaction my concern has been whether online students are academically competent with international students.

Hi Jerretta,
Thank you for your suggestion. I am new to this and not sure if there is enough time in the curriculum for the mock. However, there is room for revision and I will consider revising. Thank you so much.

Hi Shana,
Great idea with the teen speaker. I had an adult in mind. I did not think of the teen speaker. Thanks so much. Yes, pre-test and post-test could be possible. However, I must know what I intend to measure and time maybe limited to develop an instrument. Thank you for your suggestion. I will certainly incorporate the teen speaker.
Thanks,

Hi Megan,
I am not sure to respond to comments on my blog or the other person's blog. This program is for grades seventh through twelfth. Intergration of other subjects is good when possible. For example, students can calculated what percentage of alcohol is toxic. Students can calculate their BMI. Alcohol has a correlation to BMI.
Thanks for your insight.

I could not get the drawing icon to function. I experienced difficulty in creating this diagram. I could not get the pointers as illustrated in the text. This diagram is nothing compared to the text; however, I hope this is understandable. Once I learn how to use the proper tools for diagramming, the outline will be beneficial by adding or deleting text as needed. After trying to import the diagram I created, the blog would not accept.
