The article “What a
Million Syllabuses Can Teach Us” talks about how academic
publications should be evaluated in different methods and the potential
benefits of exchanging ideas and information about curriculum designs and
teaching approaches among different colleges and universities. These ideas remind
me of the importance of sharing knowledge and being critical. Group discussions
are not uncommon throughout my M.Ed studies at the university of Ottawa, and I
enjoyed and also benefited from listening to the different learning and
teaching experiences of my classmates, their professional pursuits, and their varying
interests in the field of education. I was sometimes inspired by these discussions.
In addition, I agree with the article that sharing curriculum plans and designs
among schools is beneficial to both the improvement of school education and
students’ interest in learning. There are multiple open classes posted through
many websites nowadays, which provide people with materials and opportunities
to be encouraged through others’ life experiences, and to know more about their
fields of interest, different cultures, and different perspectives on current
issues. These benefits could also be applied to school education if schools can
be provided with more opportunities to share their perspectives on as well as
their confusions about teaching and curriculum implementation.
