Question

Which of the following best describes the core concept of a spiral curriculum ?

• A. Introducing new topics in each grade level, with no repetition of previous concept
• B. Focusing on a single subject in each grade without connections to other areas of study
• C. Maintaining a rigid sequence of topics that cannot be altered to fit the needs of different learners
• D. Revisiting core content in increasing complexity at different grade level to reinforce foundational knowledge

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Revisiting core content in increasing complexity at different grade level to reinforce foundational knowledge

• Revisiting core content in increasing complexity at different grade levels to reinforce foundational knowledge.

This concept is at the heart of a spiral curriculum, which involves:

1. Introducing core concepts at an introductory level

2. Revisiting and building upon those concepts at increasingly higher levels of complexity

3. Reinforcing foundational knowledge and skills throughout the curriculum

By spiraling the curriculum, educators aim to:

- Deepen students' understanding of core concepts

- Develop connections between different ideas and subjects

- Foster long-term retention and application of knowledge
