Dear all,

 

As a non-native English educational developer I’m looking for an English word (EN-UK) that describes the following:

A program of study consists of several courses spread over several semesters or even years. There are aspects of the curriculum that students can only learn through several courses that follow up on each other; for instance, skills like academic writing and doing research, or more disciplinary skills in certain curricula like problem solving and design for engineers, or communication with patients for physicians,…

 

So I’m looking for a good English translation of the Dutch word “leerlijn” (plural: “leerlijnen”). We consider the following as good translations:

Which of the following terms are most commonly used by educational developers, teachers, program coordinators, … to refer to this?

-          Learning trajectories

-          Learning sequences

-          Learning continuity pathway

-          Curriculum sequencing (is the term used in the paper by O’Neill, Donnely and Fitzmaurice 2013)

-          ???

 

My second question is: Are you sometimes contacted/consulted by teachers or program coordinators on how to develop these “leerlijnen”/learning trajectories? It would be nice if we could get in touch to share experiences and approaches.

 

Many thanks for your responses!

 

Nicole
