The document compares four models of curriculum: classical humanism, objectives model, process model, and new pragmatism. It defines each model, outlines their main goals and advantages/disadvantages. An example activity is provided for each that shows how objectives, activities, or procedures may differ. The content model focuses on universal knowledge transmission, while the objectives model emphasizes clear goals and evaluations. The process model centers on understanding student needs and participation. New pragmatism combines elements to provide objectives and support structure with teacher flexibility.
