"Curriculum development is a process of improving the curriculum."
Various models and approaches to curriculum development, including subject-centered, learner-centered, and problem-centered models.
Curriculum Theory: This topic covers fundamental theories and concepts of curriculum design, such as the definition of curriculum, its purpose, and its relationship to teaching and learning.
Curriculum Development: This topic covers the process of developing curriculum, including curriculum planning, design, implementation, and evaluation.
Curriculum Models: This topic covers different models or frameworks for designing or organizing curriculum, such as subject-centered, learner-centered, and problem-centered models.
Curriculum Design: This topic covers strategies and techniques for designing effective curriculum, including setting goals and objectives, developing content and activities, and selecting appropriate assessment methods.
Curriculum Assessment: This topic covers the process of evaluating the effectiveness of curriculum, including both formative and summative assessment methods.
Curriculum Alignment: This topic covers the process of aligning curriculum with educational standards, such as national or state standards, and ensuring that the curriculum supports the learning outcomes of the standards.
Curriculum Differentiation: This topic covers strategies for designing curriculum that meets the needs of diverse learners, including students with different learning styles, abilities, and cultural backgrounds.
Curriculum Integration: This topic covers the integration of different subject areas or disciplines into a coherent curriculum, as well as the integration of technology and other instructional resources.
Curriculum Implementation: This topic covers the process of implementing curriculum in the classroom, including instructional strategies, classroom management techniques, and teacher professional development.
Curriculum Evaluation: This topic covers the process of evaluating the effectiveness of curriculum in achieving its desired outcomes, as well as strategies for making improvements to the curriculum.
Tyler Model: This model is also known as the "Rational-Objectives" model. It focuses on defining clear objectives and goals and designing the curriculum to achieve those objectives.
Taba Model: The Taba model places a greater emphasis on designing curriculum around student needs and their interests.
Hilda Taba Four Step Model: This model is a more detailed version of the Taba model, and it comprises four steps: diagnosis, formulation of objectives, selection of learning experiences and organizing learning experiences.
Subject Matter Model: This model emphasizes teaching subjects in a specific order so that students can build on their knowledge progressively over time.
Humanistic Model: This model is centered on developing the "whole" individual and taking into account the social, emotional and experiential aspects of learning in the design of the curriculum.
Learner-centered Model: This model places the learner at the center of the curriculum development process, focusing on personalizing the learning experience to suit individual preferences.
Experience-based Model: This model emphasizes experiential learning and uses real-world situations and events to teach.
Problem-based Model: This model encourages students to learn problem-solving skills by integrating real-life problems into the curriculum and encouraging students to solve them.
Integrated Curriculum Model: This model seeks to integrate different subjects into a single cohesive curriculum.
Competency-based Model: This model places importance on the development of skills and competencies instead of just teaching subject matter.
Process-oriented Model: This model is focused more on the learning process itself than on the actual outcomes.
Curriculum Mapping Model: This model involves creating a visual curriculum map that shows how content lessons are aligned with standards, skills, or goals at a given grade level or course.
Standards-based Model: This model uses national or state standards to design the curriculum and to assess student learning.
Backward Design Model: This model involves starting with the desired results and objectives and then designing the curriculum backwards to fit those results.
Inquiry-based Model: This model encourages student-led inquiry and discussion as a means of developing a deeper understanding of the content.
Exemplary model: This model is used to showcase teaching methods or curriculum that have had proven success in the past.
Inclusive Model: This is a model that seeks to serve all students, regardless of background or learning needs.
STEM Model: The STEM model encourages the study of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
STEAM Model: This model adds arts to the STEM Model, so students can learn to be technology-savvy and develop their creative abilities.
Flipped classroom Model: This model inverts traditional teaching, where instruction is provided outside of class time using video tutorials, and hands-on group activities are completed during class time.
"Various approaches have been used in developing curricula."
"Commonly used approaches consist of analysis (i.e. need analysis, task analysis)."
"Design (i.e. objective design)."
"Selecting (i.e. choosing appropriate learning/teaching methods and appropriate assessment methods)."
"Formation (i.e. formation of the curriculum implementation committee / curriculum evaluation committee)."
"Review (i.e. curriculum review committee)."
