Study Notes
Curriculum Development Processes
- Three interlinked processes: Planning, Implementing, and Assessing (Evaluation).
- These processes create a dynamic cycle in curriculum development.
Planning
- Initial step in the curriculum development process.
- Involves determining the needs of learners, teachers, community, and society.
- Identification of needs leads to setting intended outcomes.
- Intended outcomes should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound.
- Planning includes strategies and methods to achieve desired outcomes.
- Necessary to identify support materials for effective curriculum execution.
- A good plan is crucial; it serves as the foundation for successful implementation.
- Outputs of planning can include lesson plans, unit plans, syllabi, course designs, instructional guides, or entire curriculums.
Implementation
- The planned curriculum must be actively put into action by teachers (curriculum implementors).
- A written curriculum plan must not remain unused; it must be executed to be valuable.
- Curriculum planners can also play the role of implementors and must understand the execution process fully.
- Successful implementation requires instructional materials, resources, and sufficient time.
- Teachers need the skills to impart knowledge effectively and achieve intended outcomes.
Evaluation
- Takes place after implementation to assess the curriculum's effectiveness.
- Evaluation determines if the planned curriculum was implemented successfully and if learning outcomes were met.
- Various evaluation models can guide the assessment process for programs and projects.
- Focus on different levels of assessment to measure learning outcomes effectively.
- Evaluation also considers weighted test scores and proficiency levels defined by education authorities.
Cyclical Flow of Curriculum Development
- The process follows the cycle: Plan, Implement, Evaluate, and then begin again.
- One cannot assess what was not taught, nor implement what was not planned.
- Understanding the cyclical nature clarifies the importance of each step in effective curriculum development.
