THEORIES OF CURRICULUM CONSTRUCTION & MODELS

BY: INTAN SYAMIMI BINTI DARWIS ATHIRAH BINTI MD YUNUS

PRODUCT MODEL

Also known as behavioural objective model. Provide the foundations on which product models of the curriculum are built. Eg : Knowledge of certain facts, mastery of specific skills and competencies, and acquisition of certain 'appropriate' attitudes and values.

Accepting that student motivation is an essential element in learning, we propose that those who teach should begin to reclaim learning outcomes and begin to frame them more broadly and flexibly, to allow for demonstrations and expressions of appreciation, enjoyment and even pleasure, in the full knowledge that such outcomes pose problems for assessment.

(Hussey & Smith 2003)

PROCESS MODEL
Focus on Teacher activities and teachers role Interaction of teachers, students and knowledge. Eg: Ways of thinking, acting and feeling, which the learner is able to use for his own purposes.

A curriculum, like the recipe for a dish, is first imagined as a possibility, then the subject of experiment. The recipe offered publicly is in a sense a report on the experiment. Similarly, a curriculum should be grounded in practice. It is an attempt to describe the work observed in classrooms that it is adequately communicated to teachers and others. Finally, within limits, a recipe can varied according to taste. So can a curriculum. (Stenhouse 1975)
