Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: There are no right or wrong answers to this question. The goal is to encourage students to analyze and assess these curriculum trends in light of their own values and their knowledge of social forces. Evaluate their responses according to the understanding they demonstrate of the nature and purpose of the trends they identify, their knowledge of emerging societal conditions, and the soundness of the reasoning they use to support their ideas.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: The subject-centered approach emphasizes content that is predetermined by the teacher. The particular content varies with the specific approach. Instruction focuses on knowledge, concepts, and principles. The primary advantage is the logical way of organizing information. The student-centered approach generally emphasizes content that is based on student needs and interests. Instruction is characterized by more student involvement. There may be an active, experimental environment with individual and group learning. The primary advantages are that the curriculum has intrinsic interest for students and that they become actively involved in learning.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
