Subject-centered curriculum challenges my personal philosophy in teaching as I believe that children have their own unique ways of learning and are more engaged when they learn by doing. With a subject-centered curriculum, the focus is more on content delivery than on the learner’s interests or experiences, limiting flexibility and real-life application, which are essential to meaningful learning. - Jasmine

It challenges me in a way that it emphasizes the importance of various subjects and discipline application and having known the importance of a classroom being learner-centered. It questions how can you really balance both of these two and maybe in paper it is easily answered but when application happens, can you really consistently watch yourself balancing both?

I see the value in content mastery and teacher-led instruction because they help build a strong foundation and provide structure. Through a clear guide and strong foundation, it helps the students to stay focused and on track. But I also believe learning shouldn’t be one-way. My philosophy centers on learning by doing and being inclusive, so I believe students need more opportunities to explore, ask questions, and connect lessons to their real lives. I believe the subject-centered approach is most effective when combined with student-centered methods that would encourage curiosity and foster personal growth of the students.

Alyza Mae S. Guerrero: While subject-centered design offers structure and depth in content, it doesn’t always support creativity or real-world problem-solving. As someone who values meaningful, active learning, I find it limiting in terms of engagement and flexibility. I aim to bring in activities that let students apply knowledge in more relevant, relatable ways.

Subject centered curriculum design challenges my own philosophy of teaching, which is nurturing, since this is a teacher-centered type of curriculum, and almost no student input. It does challenge me to research more on the subject at hand.

Subject centered approach conflicts with my beliefs about the role of both students and teachers in the learning process, since I believe that students have the right to be in charge of their own learning, with the teachers serving as facilitators and guide to students if they don't understand something.
