CURRICULUM

DEVELOPMENT

Technical-Scientific
Approach

Stresses students learning specific


subject matter with specific output.
Structure the learning enviroment &
coordinating personnel, materials and
equipment.
Attempt to systematically outline the
procedures that facilitate curriculum
development.

the various models use a means-end


paradigm.
can be evaluated.
People who favor technical scientific
model prioritize knowledge acquisition &
an educational system that is maximally
efficient.

The Models of Bobbit and


Charters

Developing a curriculum is like planning a


persons route to growth, culture, and the
individuals special abilities.
An educator take abroad over-view of the
entire field [& see] the major factors in
perspective and in relation.
A general plan for the educational program
can then be formulated, followed by
determining content and experiences
necessary for the [learner].

monitoring and managing learning ie.


students interactions with specific
contents.
The first task of curriculum development is
to discover the activities which ought to
make up the lives of students & the
abilities & personal qualities necessary for
proper performance.
Educational objectives are derived from
this activity analysis (broad range of
human experiences)
conts. in various types of task analysis &
share features of backward design.

Werret Charters (Bobbitts contemporary)


believed in activity analysis.
He noted that changes in curriculum
are always preceded by modifications in
our conception of the aim of education.
Our aims(ideals) influence the selection
of school content and experiences.
Educators should connect aims with
activities that individual performed.

Charters advocated 4 steps of


curriculum construction:
1. Selecting objectives
2. Dividing them into ideals & activities
3. Analyzing them to the limits of working
units
4. Collecting methods of achievement.

philosophy supplied the ideals in the


objectives and standards.
curriculum could contain
primary(required by a particular
occupation) and derived subjects(service
subjects that are derived from material
which has practical service value).

Bobbitt & Charters established scientific


curriculum making.
They saw effective curriculum development
as a process that results in meaningful
program.
Initiated a concern for the relationships
among goals, objectives and activities.
Regarded goal selection as a normative
process and the selection of objectives and
activities as empirical and scientific.
Indicated that curricular activity can be
planned and systematically studied and
evaluated

The Tyler Model: The Four Basic Principles.


One of the best known.
1. determine the school purpose
2. identify educational experiences related
to those purposes
3. ascertain how the experiences are
organized
4. evaluate the purposes.

Purpose

Refers to general objectives.


derived objectives by gathering data
from from the subject matter, the
learners and the society.
Then they have to be refined ie by
filtering them through the schools
philosophy & the philosophy of learning
wh. would result specific instructional
objectives.

Learning experiences leraners


perceptions and previous experience.
Knowledge about learning and human
development.
Tyler addressed the organization and
sequencing of experiences.
Ideas,concepts,values and skills should be
woven in the curriculum fabric-key
elements th. link different subjects and
learning experience.

Evaluating plans and


actions

Important in determining whether a program


was effective.
Refer to Figure 7.1pg182 for the authors
diagram of the curriculum Development
Model.
criticism Tylers approach too linear, too
reliant on objectivity and somewhat based on
assumptions about cause and effect, it allows
all educational experiences to be justified by
the objectives that they addressed.

The Taba Model: Grassroots Rationale.

Teachers should participate in


developing curricula- grassroot approach
(resemble Tylers)
Teachers should begin by creating
specific teaching-learning units for their
students ,then the general design.
Advocated an inductive approach, while
Tylers approach is a deductive
approach(general to specific)

Tabas Grassroot Model:


1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Diagnosis of needs.
Formulation of objectives.
Selection of content.
Organization of content.
Selection of learning experiences.
Organization of learning activities.
Evaluation and means of evaluation.
