• A. Concentric curriculum
• B. Child centered curriculum
• C. Spiral curriculum
• D. Subject centered curriculum

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Spiral curriculum

• In a spiral curriculum, students are introduced to a concept at a basic level and then revisit that concept in subsequent years or grades, each time with increasing complexity and depth.

• This approach requires students to use and build upon prior knowledge (learned in previous grades) to understand new information and concepts about the same topic in their current class.

• The curriculum progressively reinforces previous learning while introducing more advanced aspects, allowing for a deeper understanding over time.

• Created by educational psychologist Jerome Bruner, the spiral curriculum supports long-term retention and cognitive development by continually linking new knowledge with existing schemas.
