The curriculum development process follows systematic ways of organizing content,
strategies, and assessment, taking into consideration the learners. Each component that will be
discussed later shows how one element is related to the other component. It is apparent that steps
are clearly defined and can be treated as separate but sometimes may overlap and occur
concurrently during the implementation. To effectively craft the curriculum following the
process, curriculum designers must conduct a needs assessment of the target audience, involve
the curriculum implementers, train teachers, and regularly monitor and evaluate the
implementation of the curriculum for continual improvement.

At the completion of the module, you are expected to:

 Explain the phases and process of curriculum development, taking into consideration the
relationship of one element to the other component.
 Analyze a sample curriculum map in the tertiary department using a specific standard.

Are you ready? Then start the lesson now!

Introduction
Before we start with our discussion in curriculum planning, it is important that we know
and understand a few terms in the field of curriculum. Working knowledge of these terms is
essential for effective participation in curriculum planning activities.
In this topic, we will try to evolve a definition of curriculum planning, tackle its levels
and dimensions, and discuss the elements of curriculum development. Hopefully, we will be able
to apply the elements of curriculum planning in crafting learning outcomes that are aligned with
specific learning competencies

ABSTRACTION

A. Definition of Curriculum Planning

We must acquaint ourselves with a few terms in the field of curriculum. Working
knowledge of these terms is not only part of studying curriculum, but also essential for active
4
participation in curriculum planning activities. As our immediate concern is curriculum planning,
we shall attempt to evolve a definition of this term at the outset. What does curriculum planning
involve? Curriculum planning is a complex activity involving the interplay of ideas from the
curriculum field and other related disciplines. However, the ultimate purpose of curriculum
planning is to describe the learning opportunities available to students.

B. Levels of Curriculum Planning

One of the most important professional activities in education is the planning of learning.
This is essential since it largely determines the day-to-day life of the learner. There are several
situations that are involved in the planning of learning experiences. They represent curriculum
planning activities at:

5
The National Level
involves scholars of some discipline from various institutions across the
country
B.

The State Level

involves the establishment of a committee (group of educators (teachers,


principals, curriculum coordinators, etc.) under the Education Department
the task of the Committee is to recommend what ought to constitute the
overall program across the nation

The Building Level


deals with a group of parents, teachers, administrators, counsellors and
students from a particular institution
the group works on the basis that a student’s encounter with personal and
social experiences is as important as with those experiences gathered from
the academic activities

The Teacher Team Level


deals with a group of teachers representing different subject areas who
come together to develop a unit
type of activity that is known as inter-disciplinary curriculum planning
since it involves contributions from various subjects or disciplines of
knowledge

The Individual Teacher Level


a teacher tries to take a decision about learning objectives—what the
teacher would like a group of students to learn about a particular subject

Cooperative Curriculum Planning Level

the teacher and learners work together to decide any combination of the
‘what, how, who were, and when’ questions regarding the unit they are
working on

Elements of Curriculum Planning

According to Herrick and Tyler, the following are the components and elements of
curriculum development: Situational Analysis, Formulation of Objectives, Selection of Content,
Strategies and Methods of Teaching, and Evaluation.

Approaches in Curriculum Designing

Curriculum design is a purposeful, deliberate and systematic organization of teaching and


learning activities. Each approach follows specific context and characteristics. There are three
basic approaches in curriculum designing.

Please refer to the matrix below for the description of each approach.

For a deeper understanding of the three approaches let us examine the principles and
characteristics of each curriculum design approach.

PRINCIPLES OF CHILD-CENTERED
CURRICULUM DESIGN APPROACH

Acknowledge and respect the fundamental rights of the child.


Make all activities revolve around the overall development of the
learner
Consider the uniqueness of every learner in a multicultural
classroom
Consider using differentiated instruction or teaching
Provide a motivating supportive learning environment for all the
learner

11
PRINCIPLES OF PROBLEM-CENTERED
CURRICULUM DESIGN APPROACH
The primary focus is the subject matter.
The emphasis is on bits and pieces of information which may be
detached from life
The subject matter serves as a means of identifying problems of
living
Learning means accumulation of content, or knowledge.
Teachers role is to dispense the content.

PRINCIPLES OF SUBJECT-CENTERED
CURRICULUM DESIGN APPROACH

The learners are capable of directing and guiding themselves in


resolving problems, thus developing every learner to be
independent.
The learners are prepared to assume their civic responsibilities
through direct participation in different activities.
The curriculum leads the learners in the recognition of concerns and
problems in seeking solutions. Learners are problem solvers
You work with your partner and do the following:

Do this: Surf the internet and look for an example of a curriculum that is problem-centered,
subject-centered and learner-centered. Discuss on the advantages and disadvantages of each
curriculum design approach.

At the end of the session, you are expected to:

1. Compare and contrast the different types of curriculum design in terms of its focus and
direction.
2. Determine the application of the different curriculum approaches in the classroom setting.

Introduction

For a teacher to develop better learning activities to accomplish an outcome requires a


specific curriculum approach. The approach chosen will guide the teacher of the instructional
delivery. It will assist in determining the structure of the learning environment and arrangement
of the teaching and learning activities. In this lesson, you will be introduced to the different types
of curriculum design as well as its nature and direction.

The organization and arrangement of a curriculum is always dependent upon the
curriculum design model adapted by the writer. Schools then have the option to select which
curriculum model to follow for the institution. The types of curriculum models are categorized
into three. What are those?

Types of Curriculum Models Description


Subject Centered Design  Curriculum is divided into subject
areas
 Activities are arranged according
to a particular subject
 Focus on the content of the
curriculum
 Strong emphasis is placed on
instruction
 Direct strategies are used
 Activities are around acquisition
and memorization of facts
Learner –Centered Design  Learner is the center of the
educative process
 Focus on the needs and interest of
the learners
 Activities allows the development
of skills and talents of learners
 Aim to develop the independence
of the learner
 Teacher acts as the facilitator of
learning
Problem-Centered Design  Organized using social problems,
needs, interests and abilities of
learners.
 Allows the development of
problem solving skills, judgement
and decision making
 Encourage students to think in a
deeper context
 Enhance logical reasoning of
learners
 Allows the teamwork and
collaboration
 Strengthen motivation and
engagement of learners

Form groups of three members each and do the following:

16
a. Examine the words subject-centered design, learner-centered design and problem-
centered design and illustrate each design through drawing.

Lesson
3 Elements of Designing

18
At the end of the lesson you are expected to :

1. Describe the important elements of a curriculum design as applied in a daily lesson plan.
2. Critique a sample lesson plan vis-à-vis the elements of curriculum design.

Introduction
Crafting an instructional curriculum is not an easy task. It calls for making a decision on
what content, teaching-learning activities, and assessment will a curriculum include. This is so
because instruction changes at different levels. But it can be effective if there is an available and
well-defined content that is easy to understand.

In this topic, you will be introduced to a lesson plan as a miniscule curriculum. The
different elements will be described to give you direction and a better understanding of the
concept.

Abstraction: Let Us Build On!

A lesson plan can be labelled as a


miniscule curriculum thus, designing it includes several elements:

What are those?

Elements Description
Intended Learning Outcomes  Something to be accomplished
after a particular session
 Should follow SMART: Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Result
Oriented and Time-bounded
 State based on what students can
do
 Include cognitive, performance
and affective outcomes
Content/Subject Matter  Topics to be covered in a session
 Relevant to the outcomes
 Appropriate to the level of the
lesson
 Reflect current knowledge and
concepts
References  Books, modules or any print used
as sources of information for a
topic
 Includes the author, copyright,
publishing company and others
Teaching and learning Strategies  Activities where the learners
derive experiences.
 Must allow interaction,
communication and collaboration
as well as independent learning
 Use of varied strategies to
accommodate all types of learners
 Utilize cooperative learning
activities to allow teamwork and
collaboration
Assessment/Evaluation  Feedback by the teacher about the
performance of the students
 Provide an information whether
or not the outcomes are met.

21
To sum up there are four major components of a course design. This includes Intended
Outcomes/Objectives; Content/Subject Matter; Methods/Strategies; and Evaluation/Assessment.
All these are necessary for an effective teaching learning process.

However for a better understanding of curriculum design let us take a look at the sayings
shared by Peter Oliva. Please refer to the box below

Peter Oliva’s 10 Axioms for Curriculum Designers

1. Curriculum change is inevitable, necessary and desirable.


2. Curriculum is a product of its time
3. Curriculum changes made earlier can exist concurrently with newer curriculum
changes
4. Curriculum change depends on people who will implement the change
5. Curriculum development is a cooperative group activity
6. Curriculum development is a decision-making process made from choices of
alternatives
7. Curriculum development is an on-going process
8. Curriculum development is more effective if it is a comprehensive process rather
than a “piecemeal”
9. Curriculum development is more effective when it follows a systematic process
10. Curriculum starts from where the curriculum is.

2. Analyze and explain a sample curriculum map using the structure discussed as the
benchmark.

Introduction
It is noted that a lesson plan tells about in detail what and how a teacher intends to teach a
lesson on a day-to day basis. But a curriculum map provides a teacher a plan in diagram form on
what will happen for the entire school year. In this lesson you will be introduced to curriculum
mapping and its organization.

A curriculum must be reviewed and evaluated regularly. This is to ensure that
competencies identified are aligned with the regulatory standards. Curriculum mapping model is
based on Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs’s work (1997, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010) which addresses the
need to create various models that focuses on the recommendations and requisites that affect
students’ learning and teaching environments.

How is it defined?

Curriculum Mapping

 Process of organizing core skills, competencies, contents, learning experiences and


assessment used for each course.
 An activity involving teachers and stakeholders utilizing appropriate strategies.
 Utilizes diagram to correct misalignments and redundancy and improve overall coherence
of a course of study.
 Provides the visual that presents the timeline, sequence and articulation of content and
other important details.

Curriculum mapping can either be:

1. Horizontal alignment or a pacing guide allows teacher teachers teaching the same subject
in a particular grade level to use the same timeline and accomplish the same learning
outcomes.

2. Vertical alignment is strategy used to ensure that no overlapping will happen in the
process of writing the curriculum. It builds concepts and skills from simple to more
complex ones.

3. Subject-area alignment is a technique used to ensure coherence within a subject area for
example Mathematics, Science must be aligned within and across year level.

4. Interdisciplinary alignment is a strategy used to ensure that content is coherent across


multiple subject areas and may be aligned both within and across year level. It usually
emphasize on essential skills needed by students to succeed in a particular academic
course. For example vocabulary can also be taught in other subjects not only in English
courses.

Curriculum Implementation
Lesson
1 Models of Implementation

At the end of the session you are expected to:


 Analyze the models of curriculum implementation in the context of curriculum change
 Discuss the three-stage process of educational change.

Introduction
Curriculum implementation means putting into practice the written curriculum that has
been designed in the syllabi, course of study, curricular guides and subjects. It is a process
wherein the learners acquire the planned or intended knowledge, skills and attitudes that are
aimed at the same learners to function effectively in society. (SADC MoE, Africa 2000) You
will now see some of the commonly practiced models.

Read the given notes about the models of implementation. Fill in the PMI Chart.
Write what you think are the advantages of each model under Plus, and its
disadvantages under Minus. If you find something interesting in the model,
write it under interesting.

Models of Implementation

30
1. Overcoming Resistance to Change Model - This model rests on the assumption that
the success of curriculum implementation primarily depends on the impact the developer
can make on the consumers, i.e., teachers, students and the society in general. While
addressing the persons within the system, we should remember that to get the desired
result the subordinates should be motivated rather than ordered
2. Leadership-Obstacle Course (LOC) Model. This model treats staff resistance to
change as problematic and proposes that we should collect data to determine the extent
and nature of the resistance.
3. Linkage Model – This model recognizes that there are innovators in research and
development centers, universities, etc. Educators in the field, however, find some of their
attempts at innovations that are inappropriate for solving the problems. What is therefore
needed is a match between the problems and innovations-the establishment of linkages.
This model foresees two systems: user system and resource system. There has to be a link
between these two systems.

4. The Rand Model is based on the assumption that the success of the implementation of
new program depends on: the characteristics of the proposed change; competencies of the
teaching and administrative staff; the support of the local community; and the school
organizational structure

4. Organizational Development Model – This model is an information-processing


change strategy that enables the system to improve its operations and the quality of
interactions among its members to facilitate the introduction of change.This model
improves the organization’s problem solving and renewal process and its emphasis on
teamwork and organizational culture.

Models of Implementation
 The implementation of the curriculum is more than delivering new materials for courses.
It requires an understanding of the purpose of the program, the roles people will play, and
those affected. This process needs to be planned, but not rigid. It requires constant fine-
tuning. It requires a community of trust.
 Let us remember that curriculum implementation is a process of change, and every such
process will have some resistance to offer initially. To understand the models presented
earlier, let us emphasize the following points of each model:

1. (Overcoming Resistance to Change) rests on the assumption that the success or failure of
planned organizational change basically depends on the leaders’ ability to overcome staff
resistance to change.
1. LOC (Leadership Obstacle Course) eextends the ORC model and puts emphasis on the
gathering of data to determine the extent and nature of the resistance in order to deal with
it appropriately.
2. Linkage Model involves a cycle of diagnosis, search, retrieval, formulation of solution,
dissemination and evaluation.
3. The Rand Change Agent (RCA) model suggests that organizational dynamics seem to be
the chief barriers to change.
4. Organizational Model’s emphasis on teamwork and organizational culture. Curriculum
implementation is ongoing and interactive

33
All these models suggest that the educational change is a three-stage process. Write a sentence to
capture the idea for each stage.

Lesson Change Processes
2

At the end of the session you are expected to:


 Analyze what is change process in curriculum implementation
 Explain the phases of the change process

Introduction
Curriculum change is a learning process for teachers and for their schools. Good
understanding of change and a clear conception of the curriculum are necessary conditions for
improved implementation of the new curriculum into practice (Pasi Sahlberg).
The field of education is as dynamic as the changes in the environment and society. From
the traditional practices, it has to keep pace with the fast-changing world. The emerging
innovative pedagogies and technologies have challenged schools to introduce innovations in
their institutions. Changes are inevitable.
Change occurs in three phases over time (Fullan, 2007; Miles et al., 1987).
In your succeeding activities, you will come to understand and appreciate implementing the
designed curriculum as a change process.

Recall your experiences in your schools (senior high school or higher education
school). What changes did you experience in your curriculum?

Figure out where your answers will be in the given table.

Abstraction: Let us build on

Your previous activity showed you the three phases of curriculum change. They are as follows:

Initiation Implementation Institutionalization

Figure: The three overlapping phases of the change process (Miles et al.,1987)
1. INITIATION - is the first phase of the change process. In most cases, those facilitating
and leading change pay close attention to launching the innovation because they
recognize that how well something begins affects how it ends. Yet launching an initiative
is only the beginning. While initiation deserves considerable emphasis, leaders plan for
all three phases simultaneously.

The initiation phase is about deciding to embark on innovation, and of developing


commitment towards the process. The key activities in the initiation phase are the
decision to start, and a review of the school's current state as regards the particular
change. Matthew Miles (1986) made an analysis of the various stages of school
improvement. This is a list of factors that Miles believes make for successful initiation:

 the innovation should be tied to a local agenda and high profile local need
 a clear, well-structured approach to change
 an active advocate or champion who understands the innovation and supports it
 active initiation to start the innovation (top-down is OK under certain conditions)
 good quality innovation.

38
2. IMPLEMENTATION - is the second phase of the change process. Once the vision of
institutionalization is clear and consistent, leaders concentrate on what is needed to put
the innovation into practice by planning for and supporting
implementation.

Implementation is the phase of the process that has received the most attention. It is the
phase of attempted use of the innovation. The key activities occurring during
implementation are the carrying out of action plans, the developing and sustaining of
commitment, the checking of progress and overcoming problems. The key factors
making for success at this stage, according to Miles (1986), are:
• clear responsibility for orchestration/co-ordination (head, coordinator, external
consultant)
• shared control over implementation (top-down is not OK); good cross- hierarchical
work and relations; empowerment of both individuals and the school
• mix of pressure, insistence on `doing it right', and support
• adequate and sustained staff development and in-service training
• rewards for teachers early in the process (empowerment, collegiality, meeting needs,
classroom help, load reduction, supply cover, expenses, resources).

3. INSTITUTIONALIZATION - occurs when the innovation becomes routine practice in


its frequency, consistency, accuracy, and results. Members of the organization use the
change at least at the routine level of use and have resolved
major issues related to its implementation, such as resources, time, materials,
and so on.
Institutionalization is the phase when innovation and change stop being
regarded as something new and become part of the school's usual way of doing things.
The move from implementation to institutionalization often involves the transformation
of a pilot project, to a school-wide initiative, often without the advantage of the
previously available funding. Key activities at this stage according to Miles (1986)
are:
 an emphasis on `embedding' the change within the school's structures, its organization
and resources
 the elimination of competing or contradictory practices
 strong and purposeful links to other change efforts, the curriculum and classroom
teaching
 widespread use in the school and local area
 an adequate bank of local facilitators, (e.g., advisory teachers) for skills training.

Categories of Curriculum Change


McNeil in 1990 categorizes curriculum change as follows:

39
1. Substitution – The current curriculum will be replaced or substituted by a new one.
Example: Changing an old book to a new one
2. Alteration – There is a minor change to the existing curriculum.
Example: Use a graphing calculator to replace a graphing paper
3. Restructuring – It would mean major change or modification in the school system,
degree program or educational system.
Example: Using an integrated curriculum for the school for K to 12 requires the
elementary and secondary levels to work as a team
4. Perturbations – These are changes that are disruptive, but teachers have to adjust to
them within a short period of time.
Example: The principal approves of the time schedule because there is a need to catch
up with the national testing time, the teacher has to shorten schedule to accommodate
unplanned extra-curricular activities.
5. Value Orientation – This category will respond to shift in the emphasis that the
teacher provides which are not within the mission or vision of the school or vise
versa.
Example: When new teachers who are recruited in sectarian schools, give emphasis
only on academics and forget the formation of values or faith. These teachers need a
curriculum value orientation.

Curriculum Evaluation: A Process and a Tool

43
In any educational system, curriculum evaluation is necessary because it provides the
basis for curriculum policy decisions, feedback on continuous curriculum adjustments and
processes. A regular evaluation of any curriculum will ensure that the written and delivered
curriculum has the desired effect on the students' achievements.

But what is really meant of curriculum evaluation? Below are just some of the
definitions of the curriculum evaluation.

Hunkins, F (1998)
Olivia, P. (1988)
McNeil, J. (1997) Gay, L. (1985)

Based on the analysis of the diverse meanings and definitions of curriculum evaluation, it
reveals that it is both a process and a tool. Evaluation is a process because it follows a procedure
based on models and frameworks to get to the desired results. On the other hand, it is
a tool because it will help teachers and program implementers to judge the worth or merit of the
program and innovation or curricular change. It is both a process and a tool because the results of
the evaluation will be the basis to improve the curriculum.

Reasons for Evaluation

44
The desire to review the curriculum emerges because it is important for both the
instructors and students to assess to what degree their existing curriculum and its
implementation have generated meaningful, positive, and appropriate outcomes for students.
Let us always remember that curriculum evaluation aims to improve on what has already been
available. Enumerated below are some of the reasons for the evaluation.

Curriculum Evaluation defines the strengths and weaknesses of an existing


1 curriculum that will form the basis of the proposed plan, design, or
implementation. This is referred to as the needs assessment

When the evaluation is done in the middle of the curriculum development, it


2 will tell of the designed or implemented a curriculum that can produce or is
producing the desired results. This is related to monitoring.

Based on some standards, curriculum evaluation should determine whether


3 the outcomes have equaled or met the standards so that they can be labeled as
a success. This is sometimes called a terminal assessment.

Curriculum evaluation provides information necessary for instructors, school


4 administrators, curriculum specialist for policy recommendations that will
enhance achieved learning outcomes. This is the basis for decision making.

Do this: Write a slogan that will encapsulate the meaning and importance of curriculum
evaluation.

2. Determine when to use a certain evaluation

Introduction
Types of evaluation refer to various procedures, products, and people that are subject to
evaluation. The fact that we are talking about various forms of evaluations does not mean there
are a variety of different evaluation processes. The methods implemented in the evaluation
process are the same, regardless of what is being evaluated. What varies is what is being
evaluated, how the evaluation is being implemented, and the types of decisions being made.

In this lesson, you will explore the different types of evaluation, and when they are best utilized.

Types of Evaluation
Over the last decades, it has been observed by various stakeholders that a percentage of
graduates have been found unsuitable for employment due to the lack of skills in performing the
tasks expected from them. These issues have contributed to the criticism of the educational
curriculum. In order to produce competent graduates, we must continually evaluate the
curriculum.

There are different types of evaluation. They are classified on the basis of how it is used
and how the results are interpreted. Types of evaluation refer to the various processes, products,
and persons subject to evaluation. These include students, schools, schools, systems, programs,
and personnel.

The matrix below illustrates the types of evaluation based on purpose and based on what is being
evaluated.

49
Types of evaluation based on purpose

 The entry behavior or potential of the learner is measured


to find out if the student possesses the knowledge, skills,
and attitudes required to begin the course of instruction.
Placement  used to find out to what extend student has already
mastered the objectives of the planned instruction, e.g.
entrance exam

 used to monitor student’s learning progress during


instruction which aims to provide ongoing feedback to
Formative students and teachers regarding success and failure of the
teaching-learning process
 strengthen or improve the object being evaluated

 is concerned with finding out the reasons for student’s


persistent or recurrent learning problem that cannot be
resolved by standard corrective measures of formative
evaluation
Diagnostic  the goal or aim is to find out the causes of learning
problems and plan or prepare to take remedial actions
 observational techniques or specially prepared designed
techniques can be used to diagnose the problem

 usually given at the end of the course or unit of


instructions to find out which student has mastered the
expected learning outcomes and to what degree
Summative  While the summative assessment outcomes are usually
used for assigning grades or for certifying the mastery of
instruction goals of the learners, they can also be used to
provide feedback on the appropriateness of the objectives
and the effectiveness of the instruction.

Curriculum Innovation is a challenging task. It requires constant contact with


stakeholders to be more relevant. Thus it requires one to explore and discover something new.
Below are the different models of curriculum innovation.

Models of Curriculum Innovation

Model Description
Researching  Conduct of environmental scanning to determine background
of parents and the community
 Gather information on the needs, interest, and capabilities of
individual students
 Serve as the basis in decision making for curricular
improvement and innovation
Ethos Building  Techniques which allows curriculum makers to discover, trial
and pilot curriculum innovation
 Provide support system to new and less qualified teachers
Trialling  Pilot testing of the curricular innovation
 May be done in collaboration with other schools
Implementation  Actual implementation of the innovation
 Change may occur from simple to complex depending upon
the situation and circumstances
Evaluation and  Analysis of the result against the expected output as stipulated
Review in the plan.

But curriculum Innovation usually takes place in different levels. Let us try to examine the levels
of curriculum innovation

Level of Curriculum Innovation

Level Description
Central Approach  Referred to as official laws and regulations provided by the
national government
 Consist of broad policies, standards, and guidelines
 Serves as the basis for decision making and framework in the

planning, curriculum design and organization, curriculum implementation, curriculum evaluation
and curriculum improvement. As future educator and curriculum maker, understanding the
