In addition to the basic knowledge, skills, and values ​​needed to be productive individuals, the process of acquiring them is also a significant factor. As a result, the revision of the curriculum was deemed appropriate to make future generations better equipped and for the needs of the age, individual, and society.]]> 2021-04-17 10:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428048831 Question 2: What is the underlying educational philosophy of the National Curriculum? alarabsrn https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428051979 2021-04-17 10:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428051979 Question 3: What is the core element that was introduced as the main focus of all the teaching programs in the National Curriculum? alarabsrn https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428052467 While previous education programs focus on skills acquisition, the main emphasis of current curricula is on values ​​and value education. National, spiritual and universal values ​​related to educational goals have been divided into items thanks to a wide screening. Thus, values ​​education, which was also included in 2005 in order to assimilate social values ​​and transfer them to future generations, became more prominent in new education programs.]]> 2021-04-17 10:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428052467 Question 4: What are the 10 root values and related attitudes and behaviors? alarabsrn https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428053197 2021-04-17 10:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428053197 Question 5: What are some criticisms regarding values education as suggested and implemented? alarabsrn https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428053432 To teach the values ​​completely, it is important to address the values in each lesson under the titles of the upper values ​​and the values ​​specific to each course. Also, because the interpretations of some attitudes and behaviors are vague, it may cause teachers not to understand and students not to learn. Therefore, more specific explanations are needed.]]> 2021-04-17 10:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428053432 Question 6: What are the "Key Competencies"? alarabsrn https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428056883 In the link below, the meaning of competency and some key competencies are provided.

The relationship between the skills and the courses is not included in the curriculum, and this may indicate that the qualifications do not match the achievements of all courses. ]]> 2021-04-17 11:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428057972 Question 8: In this new curriculum revision movement were the primary and secondary ELTPs revised as well? alarabsrn https://padlet.com/alarabsrn/uj4t1tr3wvg8ux7k/wish/1428058179 Yes, they were revised under two main titles and six subtitles in total by MoNE.

I have learned that with the revision, MoNE has focused on acquiring the root values instead of abilities, and the new educational programs depend on the ten root values and related attitudes and behaviors.
b) What would I like learn?
I would like learn why all of these educational programs have never worked.
c) What have I not truly understood?
I did not understand why we are constantly trying to renew the curriculum and copy the curriculum of foreign countries.
