An Eclectic Curriculum blends multiple curricular conceptions. When developing such a curriculum, it's crucial to choose concepts that complement each other, much like selecting ingredients for a perfect dish.

Timeline

Eclecticism, originating in the 19th century, refers to an approach that blends various sources or styles. It emerged as a reaction against rigid adherence to established artistic or philosophical schools of thought. This movement influenced art, architecture, literature, and music, and remains relevant today for incorporating diverse perspectives.

Power of Eclecticism

Recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of teaching strategies, emphasizing the need for adaptability in response to evolving classroom dynamics. Provides teachers with the freedom to select effective strategies tailored to their specific circumstances (Brown, 2002, as cited in Akenji, 2023). Aims to meet diverse student needs by allowing teachers to flexibly combine various teaching methods, strategies, and tools.
