The Australian Curriculum is “a long time coming”, but it's great that it's almost here now. The Australian curriculum was designed with some relation to the Tyler and Skillbeck models. It is suspected that theorists such as Piaget were also taken into account during the development. The Australian Curriculum refers to Piaget's stages of progression, with the curriculum designed for specific levels of maturation and development. With students of this generation, it was incredibly important to design an updated curriculum so that it could meet the needs of 21st century students. This new generation of students seems to be almost born with basic computer skills, so the ICT program has been completely redeveloped. The curriculum has also been expanded to make room for Asian studies which will help students advance their careers. The Australian Curriculum has been developed to cover a broad range of topics, concerns and values ​​which will be discussed in this document. The Australian Curriculum is organized in several ways. There are two main design elements: curriculum content (what the teacher should teach) and performance standards (what the student should learn). There is also a Reporting Framework that incorporates elements from both areas. These elements were designed to provide guidelines on what would be included in the Australian Curriculum. The content of the curriculum is organized into categories (sections) and is presented with descriptions to report and describe what is to be taught at each year level. Together these descriptions form the scope and sequence of all school years covered (Foundation to Year 10). The areas of study covered each year are based on the previous...middle of the paper......high school lives. The Australian curriculum prepares students for their role within the family and for a career that involves the use of computers in at least some areas of the business. The Australian curriculum prepares students for the world they will face with confidence, living with their morals, values ​​and knowledge of who they truly are. References: ACARA. (2010).
