Subject-centered curriculum focuses on a single area, with students studying the same topics. This silo approach places emphasis on acquisition, memorization, and knowledge within a specific content area. An example of subject-centered curriculum is spiral curriculum. Student-centered curriculum is non-authoritative and participation-focused. It provides opportunities for students to have increased responsibility to identify their own learning needs. Core curriculum and activity-centered curriculum are examples.

Three of the following illustrate the Gestalt notion that "the whole is more than the sum of its parts." Which one does not reflect this idea?
a. Abby notices that a row of flashing lights look like a single moving light. b. Bobby gazes at the stars and notices how a cluster of seven stars forms the shape of a tennis racket. c.

When he later sees the same bright light and an even brighter one, he correctly identifies the new light as being brighter. d. Debby learns that "2 plus 2 equals 4" and repeats this fact to herself over and over again until she knows it perfectly.
