Curriculum Development Models Explained

The document discusses different models for curriculum development: 1) The objective model proposed by Tyler focuses on stating objectives, selecting learning experiences, organizing experiences, and evaluation. It provides clear direction but can limit learning. 2) The cyclical model involves aims/goals, selecting experiences, selecting content, organizing experiences, and evaluation in cycles. It allows flexibility but takes time. 3) The dynamic model has overlapping elements and allows starting from any element. It offers flexibility but provides little direction. The models exist on a continuum from more fixed to more flexible.

Topic#3: Model for Curriculum

Development

Objectives:
Students should be able to identify
models for curriculum development
Students can distinguish objective
model from dynamic model in
curriculum development
3.1 Definition: Model refers to
relationship between the parts of
the process of curriculum
development, i.e. objectives,
content, method, and evaluation
(Brady, 1990;57-8)
3.2 The Objective/Rationale Model

Tyler’s rationale /objective model is


based on 4 questions:
• What educational purposes should
the school seek to attain?
• What educational experiences can
be provided that are likely to attain
these purposes?
• How can these educational
experiences be effectively
organized?
• How can we determine whether
these purposes are being attained?
The Objective Model:

Stating objectives

Selecting learning experiences

Organizing learning experiences

Evaluation
Strengths of the objective model

Provide curr. Developer with a


clear direction and a guide for
the remaining process

provide a fixed guide which


could simplify the process

provide a logical sequence of


curriculum element
Weaknesses of the objective
model

In practice, the curriculum dev.


is rarely fixed
The model cannot account for
the complexities in learning
processes and outcomes
The model insists on curr. dev-
eloper starting by predicting
specific objectives (tend to
limit what students can learn)
Planning by objectives treats
ends(objectives) and means
(content and method) separetely
3.3 The Cyclical Model

1. Aims, goals, objectives


2. Selection of
learning experiences

5. Evaluation

3. Selection of
4. Organization end content
integration of
learning experiences
and content

Wheeler Model
Strengths of cyclical model

Provide logical sequence


Provide baseline data for
objectives
Able to cope with changing
circumstances
Provide flexibility (and relevant
to school situations and more
appropriate to [Link]. by
teachers)
Weaknesses of cyclical model

It is difficult to locate
It is not different from objective
model since it adopts logical
sequence
It takes time to undertake an
effective situational analysis
3.4 Dynamic/interaction model

Objectives

Selecting
Learning expe-
riences Evaluation
(content)

Organizing learning
experiences
Another Dynamic model

Situation Analysis

Goal formulation

Program building

Interpretation and inplementation

Monitoring, feedback, assess-


ment, reconstruction
Strenths of dynamic model

Curriculum developer can


begin with any of the elements
The model allows curriculum
developer to change the order
of planning (to move to and fro
amongst the curr elements)
The model offers flexibility
Weakenesses of dynamic model

The model doesn’t necessarily


specify objectives
The model offers so little
directio
The curr. developers need a
lot of time to determine the
beginning stage in curr. Dev.
3.5 Continuum of curriculum
models

Objective Cyclical Dynamic/inter-


Models models action models
