design and that teachers must be involved in the process. There are 8 steps to the Taba model of
curriculum development: a. Identify the needs of the students, b. Develop objectives, c. Choose content
that matches the objectives, d. Organize content considering the learners experiences and background,
e. Select instructional method that promote student engagement, f. Organize learning experiences by

6. Tyler Model1. From Tyler’s model of curriculum development, there are four basic questions:a. What
is the purpose of the education?b. What educational experiences will attain the purposes?c. How can
these experiences be effectively organized?d. How can we determine when the purposes are met?
8. Saylor, Alexander and LewisModelThe curriculum planner must begin by setting educational goals and
specific objectivesthat they wish to accomplish. Saylor, Alexander and Lewis classified sets of broad
goalsinto four domains under which learning experiences may take place: personaldevelopment, social
competence, continued learning skills, and specialization.a.Once the learning goals, objectives and
domains have been established, the plannerscan then move into the process of planning the
curriculum.b.The first step, curriculum designing, is made by the curriculum planning groups.Here, the
curriculum workers decide on the appropriate learning opportunities foreach domain and how and
when these opportunities will be made available.c.After the designs have been created, curriculum
implementation begins. Teachersselect the methods through which the curriculum will be related to the
learner.Teachers identify the specific instructional objectives before selecting the strategies
toimplement.d.Finally, teachers and curriculum planners evaluate the curriculum. They evaluate
thetotal educational program and the evaluation program itself during this step of theprocess. This
process allows educators to determine whether or not the goals andlearning objectives have been met.
