The Differences between a Curriculum with the Focus on the Subject and a Curriculum with the Focus on the Situation

Abstract

The curriculum is one of the most important documents of the educational system. During the last twenty years in Albania, are made huge attempts to reform it, but they were not very sufficient to complete the real mission of the curriculum so that the whole process responds to the level of development of the society and contributes to its emancipation. In this article, using comparative arguments, the subject-focused curriculum model and the situation-focused curriculum model are compared. Based on this analysis, conclusions have been reached as to why situation-focused curricula are more important and motivating for both teaching and students.
