ABSTRACT
The first dimension of the cubic curriculum highlights the subjects found on a timetable. As was pointed out above, the subjects shown in the model of the cubic curriculum in this book are not meant to be a typical or ideal curriculum, as they are merely illustrative of the headings often used when a school or college timetable is assembled. Some of the subjects shown, like English, mathematics and science, are typical of what would be found in the formal curriculum of most schools in the English-speaking world. Other possible subject labels, like humanities, represent combinations of subjects, while yet others, such as construction and nursing, though they might possibly figure in a school programme, are much more likely to be seen in vocational courses, and robotics could be a subject in its own right, or a subtopic of a larger field, like ‘engineering’ or ‘technology’.
