Subject-centered curriculum focuses on a single area, with students studying the same topics. This silo approach places emphasis on acquisition, memorization, and knowledge within a specific content area. An example of subject-centered curriculum is spiral curriculum. Student-centered curriculum is non-authoritative and participation-focused. It provides opportunities for students to have increased responsibility to identify their own learning needs. Core curriculum and activity-centered curriculum are examples.
