Blog # 3 Plannable / Unplannable curriculum

Referring to curriculum, the planning and developing of it seems to be an ambiguous task, as it can be plannable or unplannable, which can be the inter between position. The theory from Ali Baba about “third space” can be applied in almost any field, and this theory, in fact, is quite cater to the Chinese philosophy of neutral. In some field, there is actually no absolute right or wrong, or there is no complete agree or disagree. Our presentation last session also gave some thoughts on the debate. What our intention about agree or disagree is not right in that there is alway inter between position with any point, theory. The designing of curriculum on Language and culture is alway controversial. The critics from many position complain the inappropriateness and impracticality of it. All the reading and the learning in this course shows that there is no absolute solution to some issue, particularly, the development and design of the curriculum. This is I get from this course so far. All the scholars and educators are complaining about the curriculums, but what if they are put into the position of designing the curriculums. I assume that the result is the same, still more complaints. As being said, the right way of treating curriculum is to make it plannable with unplanned possibilities.
