My research question is about the impact of pedagogy and Curriculum on students' participation. I have read many references but coyld not find themes related to Curriculum in particular. Is there anyone who has Curriculum themes that May inspire me. Because participants did not say a lot about Curriculum???
If you are talking in general terms, curriculum, for example, should be interesting and motivational! In addition to the content material, it should also encourage learners to think, and be able to apply theory into practice!
Hi! I think we can understand ”curriculum” as the ”What to learn?” and that it is important to keep apart from the ”How to learn?” and the ”Why to learn?” questions. Sometimes these are mixed up. The critical reflection training and the application is often part of the How question, but could/perhaps should, be a clear part of the curriculum itself instead.
A problem is that the What? is often formulated by tradition or by the educational providers own needs and resources, instead of being an evidence-based part of what the student obviously needs in the future for what he/she is educated for.
i have the feeling that a lot of curricula must be updated in the information society in which we live. It cannot any longer be reasonable to hard-code as much as possible of existing knowledge of everything relevant into students heads - we must think of education differently because it changes constantly, step by step. It is not a really valid argument either that a student will understand new things easier if she/he knows the old.
An interesting discussion of the What/How/Why of learning is made by prof Luciano Floridi in the paper ”E-ducation and the languages of information”. He considers the often discussed ”How” of information as a workable problem, the challenge is the ”What” to learn in the future, and also the tricky question of Why. I find his discussion fresh and interesting. See the attached article.

Hello Dr Faten Alabasi, your research focus appears to be student reluctance to participate. This phenomenon is well-known in adult education: making mistakes in front of peers is demoralising and undesirable. One response could be exploring intrinsic and extrinsic motivation methods for active engagement, possibly with the help of educational technology, so that the physical or virtual classroom becomes a safe, welcoming space of empowerment, personal growth and experimentation. In this direction, the following articles could be useful to you:

In the past I have used the the theme of homelessness in America, and now I am giving students a variety of themes, based on the idea of innovations and solutions to social issues, such as COVID, water quality, racial health inequities, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and gender inequalities. I use these for my first two assignments in my academic and research writing classes as a vehicle to teach APA documentation, synthesis of sources and library skills. The last two papers are on a topic of their choice, employing the earlier skills they learned.
For the active participation of the child, it is necessary to prepare student-centered, intrinsically motivated, interesting and development-appropriate programs. For this, a good pedagogical formation is of great importance in order to create a developmentally appropriate program. Those who do not know the development of the child cannot prepare an effective and sufficient program. You can learn more by searching for "Developmentally Appropriate Programs".
I can think of standard, outcomes-based, inter-disciplinary as possible themes.
Based on my own professional and research experience, curriculum theme should be based on the main goal of the program; the main focus of the curriculum should be closely connected with the purpose of studying this program. According to Brown's 'systematic approach to program development', all the six components of the curriculum should be interconnected to produce an effective program which in turn leads to achieving the main purpose of studying this program. Kindly refer to the attached reference for further thoughts in terms of curriculum aspects.

Stylianos Mystakidis Thank you for your comment. Yes, my research is on students in the preparatory year. I have checked the ended articles but my research does not include technology. It is mainly about the impact of pedagogy and curriculum on students' reticence and passivity.
Thank you so much
Hi, every curriculum is unique and is dynamic...hence it is hard to find a universal curriculum theme that fits every academia...the curriculum must be designed from ground up with a particular authentic niche in mind to sustain student's enthusiasm.
