Broad field curriculum has been developed under the critique on subject-centered curriculum which combines together the related subject matter across or disciplines into one broad field of study. The rationale of a broad field curriculum is to draw attention towards the relationships and integration of the content areas and experiences. The broad field design of the curriculum is used to strengthen the interdisciplinary integration for learning.
It enables students to make
linkages between the concepts across different disciplines. Acquisition of
knowledge and coverage of content is the emphasis by combining the concepts in
different disciplinary areas. An example of broad field design may be of social
studies integrating all subjects of history, geography, economics, civics, and
sociology.
Apart
To its advantage, a broad field curriculum may not be easy to implement as it
demands teachers who are trained and having knowledge of content in
different subject areas. It is only appropriate at middle and secondary level
schools and classes because at higher levels it may be applicable because of
the specialized nature of the courses. In a broad field curriculum, students are
tending to obtain knowledge at the surface level because of not having an in-depth understanding
of a particular subject.
