Alternative curriculum design: Toward a narrative-based backward design

This article discusses the alternative curriculum design through narrative-based backward design. This mode of design is valid strategy for overcoming the problems of knowledge delivery and developing the ability of deep understanding of learners. With a viewpoint of understanding, we intended to discuss and suggest the backward design as new mode of knowledge education. The backward design means new method for unit level design through objectives-evaluation-learning activities loops. In this mode of design, narrative can be discussed as a strategy of backward design tool. Backward design is characterized as innovative method for promoting learner's understanding and changing the conventions of classroom. Narrative-based backward design will be a key tool for deep learning.
