Instructional Patterns for Maximizing Human Potential. A Curriculum Design for Human Development and Interpersonal Relationships: Kindergarten through Adult Education.
Kern Joint Union High School District, Bakersfield, CA.
Intended for consumer and homemaking education program development in kindergarten through adult education, this curriculum design emphasizes human development and interpersonal relationships. Presented in two sections, the document covers both the curriculum development process and the resulting products. The curriculum addresses five instructional areas: child development and family relations; clothing and textiles; foods and nutrition; housing, equipment, and furnishings; and resources management. Preceding the first section is a sample module unit. In section 1, a process for competency-based curriculum development is described using six steps: assessing needs; designing objectives; selecting content; varying activities and organizational structure; and utilizing objective evaluations. Section 2 contains instructional materials organized under the following broad topics: self and others, tradition and change, independence and interdependence, and present and future. Each topic contains numerous instructional strategies which follow a similar format including objectives, generalizations, activities, evaluation, and resources. (CSS)
