The learner relevancy is to design a curriculum that meets the needs of the students. Since curriculum is applicable to the learners, the students need to be engaged by various means. One way is to combine the general content with specific. Second is to center curriculum to the students’ values, discoveries, thinking processes, experiences and culture. Third is by creating a curriculum that makes or creates learning situations that shifts learning into knowledge. The last one is by using the knowledge and applications to connect it to diverse problems, situations and contexts.
The importance of integrating curriculum is to as the basic question of teaching-learning paradigm. The focus would be to ask what students need to know and what are they going to be able to do? The integration of both school and work curriculum is going to influence the skills, information, how students will learn and transfer the skills/knowledge to real word situations/applications.
The way that I would answer the question is that the knowledge and skills that are been taught in schools should be able to transfer over to the real world. Curriculum needs to be focused more on the skills that the students will need instead of a lot of information that has no connections the real world. Personally I believe that a person should be cultured so that no matter where they go they are able to make knowledgeable decisions and conversations with other people.
