Level Notes
(Redirected from Curriculum Level Notes)
What age/experience group is relevant for OSE curriculum and work? That completely depends on the project and person - so here are guidelines.
- Different levels for curriculum are:
- Kindergarten
- Elementary
- High School
- College
- Master's Degree
- PhD
- Typical curriculum for OSE, related to the GVCS, requires high school level science and math ability.
- Exceptional younger students can be more capable than average older ones, which means that OSE work is suitable to any exceptional but very young student. We welcome this.
- There is wide variation in school quality for the rich and poor, and between different countries. Thus, someone in elementary school may well be as capable as a college student.
- PhD level curriculum can be turned into high school curriculum if broken down into small parts. Part of the complexity of PhD level work is that one has to consider a broader or deeper knowledge base. This does imply that modular breakdown of the multiple elements, or taking a part of a single element - may be done by much younger students.
- The power of modular breakdown is that younger students can do pieces of meaningful work. This lends itself to massive online collaboration between many students in OSE Clubs - making development of the entire Global Village Construction Set tractable.
