Concept Based Curriculum and Instruction for the Thinking Classroom (Translated Book)

This book is a major contribution from Tarsheed Educational Publications to the Arab educational library. It introduces the "Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction" (CBCI) model, a three-dimensional framework that integrates facts, skills, and conceptual understandings across subjects. Unlike traditional curricula, it emphasizes higher-order conceptual thinking as a core learning goal. 

The book supports teachers from preschool through secondary school, offering practical examples and detailed guidance for designing meaningful lessons. Grounded in cognitive science, learning theory, and over 30 years of the authors’ experience, it provides deep insights into knowledge structures, curriculum design, and the development of student intelligence. 

Spanning 352 pages across five chapters—The Thoughtful Classroom, Knowledge and Processes, Concept-Based Unit Design, Inquiry-Based Concept Learning, and Self-Assessment and the Emerging Concept-Based Teacher - the book equips educators to implement concept-based teaching effectively in diverse learning environments.
