Abstract
Creating an effective curriculum is important in order to make learning meaningful to students. In order for a curriculum to be effective, the objectives, learning activities, and assessments should be smoothly integrated with each other. Learning by Doing is an educational approach that makes use of engaging learning activities that are tailored to the needs and interests of the learners. In the same way, teachers who utilize the Learning by Doing approach motivate students to learn by stimulating their curiosity. This paper will discuss the important aspects of an effective curriculum. In particular, this paper will explore how the Learning by Doing approach has the capacity to develop critical thinking and analytical skills among learners.
