Section 3:

Analyze the main concepts of Bruner's spiral curriculum. Provide examples in your discussion.

The main concepts of Bruner's spiral curriculum a curriculum in which learning revisits thematic core principles repeatedly throughout the process of the learning, Bruner also stresses that learning is a social and cultural process that must be centered around ideas that are contextual for the individual and that instruction must be presented so that learners find the open opportunity to extrapolate, or go beyond the lesson. An example of a Bruner spiral curriculum aspect would be a hands on learning experience that offered familiar object to students to develop math concepts associated with abstract and real numbers building on these concepts the core relationship would be repeated in other lessons so the learners can extrapolate and form new associations with the material and the math concepts.

Document Tyler's contributions to curriculum. What were the educator's main concepts? Explain each concept with an example.

Tyler's two main contributions of curriculum are the development of a standardized manner in which to develop curriculum, see his curriculum coarse syllabus as well as a stress on authentic assessment or assessments that judge the material learned rather than ranking students based on arbitrary standards, and to use these authentic assessment to guide curriculum development. (Palmer, Bresler, & Cooper, 2001, pp. 55-57)

What is the relationship between Bruner's and Tyler's work? Compare and contrast their approaches to curriculum.

The relationship between these two seminal figures in curriculum development is that both emphasize real measure as a guide to curriculum development, and both emphasize the individual learner as the most telling and important aspect of learning. The concepts associated with these two thinkers are different in that Tyler does not stress independent thought, while Bruner makes clear that goal of learning is to understand how something works, rather than to understand many facts about it, so concepts can be applied to later learning. (Palmer, Bresler, & Cooper, 2001, p. 92)
