    • Sequence: "Sequence is order of the topics over time"
    • Continuity: "Smoothness or the absence of disruptions in the curriculum over time."
    • Integration: "Integration is linking of all types of knowledge and experiences contained within the curriculum plan."
    • Balance: educators are concerned that appropriate weight is given to each aspect of the design so that distortions do not occur. Students have opportunities to master knowledge and internalize it.

    Taxonomies of Educational Objectives

    • Cognitive domain (THINK): knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation
    • Affective domain (FEEL): receiving, responding, valuing, organizing, and characterizing by a value
    •   Psychomotor domain (DO): perception, set, guided response, mechanism, complex overt response, adaptation, and origination

    Purpose and Function of Behavioural Objectives

    • Guide for the teacher relative to the design of instruction
    • Guide for the teacher for evaluation/test design
    • Guide for the learner relative to learning focus
    • Guide for the learner relative to self-assessment
    • Statements of objectives tell others what we value
    • Causes careful thinking about what is to be accomplished through instruction
    • Helps relationship between teacher and learner
    • Enhances possibility to create focused independent learning materials
    • Makes teaching more directed and organized
    • Communicates to colleagues what you are teaching
    • Helps bridge the gap between vague, but relevant, and important, institutional goals and actual instruction
    • Provides visibility and accountability of decisions

    Why are Objectives Important?

    • Selection of content
    • Development of instructional strategy
    • Development and selection of instructional materials
    • Construction of tests for assessing and evaluating student learning outcomes

    • Ultimate vs Immediate Objectives
    • Single-course vs Multiple-course Objectives

    Gagne's Groups of Learning Outcomes

    • Verbal information
    • Intellectual skills
    • Cognitive strategies
    • Motor skills
    • Attitudes

    Curriculum Development Process

    • Stages of Planning: Before, During, After instruction

    Curriculum Designs

    • Subject-centered designs: Discipline Design, Broad Fields Design
    • Learner-centered Designs: Experience-centered Design, Humanistic Design
    • Problem-centered Designs: Core Design, Reconstructivist Design

    Curriculum Implementation

    • Implementation focuses on three factors: People, Programme, and Process.
    • Factors affecting implementation: Characteristics of the change, Need and relevance of the change, Clarity, Complexity, Quality, Administrative support, In-service participation, and Motive
    • Theory of Change

    Curriculum Evaluation

    • Evaluation is a cooperative activity involving students, teachers, evaluators, and consultants.
    • Includes questions of intrinsic, instrumental, comparative, idealization, and decisional values.
