    Curriculum Models

    This document discusses various curriculum models, including Tyler's model and Wheeler's model. [1] Tyler's model is a linear 4-step process of 1) stating objectives drawn from learners, society, and experts, 2) selecting learning experiences, 3) organizing experiences, and 4) evaluating. It is influential but seen as too static. [2] Wheeler proposed a cyclical model with 5 steps to make the process more dynamic. However, it is still similar to Tyler's objectives model and lacks clear organization. [3] The document also briefly mentions other models like Taba's and those from KICD and CDACC.

    CURRICULUM MODELS

    Models are miniature representations that


    summarise data and or phenomena. They
    act as an aid to understanding a given
    process. They represent a portion of
    theory and therefore help in theory
    building
    Types of models
    a) Physical models
    3 Dimensional e.g. an arrangement of
    balls to show the structure of molecules
    b) Conceptual or verbal
    A textual explanation of a concept e.g
    the industrial model of schooling
    c) Mathematical
    Uses formula to explain a concept
    e.g
    Amps = Volts/ohms
    d) Graphical
    Uses drawings or graphics to illustrate a
    process

    Curriculum models have generally been


    limited to conceptual and graphic types
    Tyler’s Model
    Also referred to as the objective’s model.
    Developed by Ralph Tyler (1949) and
    published in the book “Basic Principles of
    Curriculum and Instruction”
    Tyler raised four fundamental questions
    which form a basis for curriculum planning
    1. What educational purposes should a
    school seek to attain?
    2. What educational experiences can be
    provided that are likely to attain this
    purposes?
    3. How can these educational experiences
    be effectively organised?
    4. How can we determine whether these
    purposes are being attained?
    Tyler’s questions may be reformulated into
    a simple 4 step process by which a
    curriculum is planned and developed
    1.Stating objectives
    2.Selecting experiences
    3.Organising experiences
    4.Evaluation
    Step 1 Objectives
    Sources
    1. The learner
    2. The contemporary society
    3. Subject specialist
    Philosophical &
    Psychological
    Screening
    Step 2 Selection of learning experiences

    Step 3 Organisation of learning experiences

    Step 4 Evaluation
    Note:
    •Ralph W. Tyler’s model is one of the most
    influential models proposed for planning and
    developing curriculum. It has been referred
    to as a classical model because it is
    believed that other models drew inspiration
    from it
    Strengths of Tyler’s Model
    1. It has sequential steps on the basis of
    time and other operations involved in the
    processes
    2. Uses student-centred approach to
    learning
    3. Designed to measure the degree to
    which pre-defined objectives and goals
    have been attained
    Criticism of Tyler’s model
    1. Evaluation is fixed at the end.
    Leaving evaluation till the last stage is not
    good enough ( like doing military intelligence
    when the war is over). Evaluation should take
    place at every stage ( Bruner)
    2. The curriculum development process is seen
    to be linear and static.
    The whole process of curriculum
    development should not be static but
    dynamic and continuously evolving ( Kerr)
    3. Difficult to harmonise objectives from
    different sources (learners, subject
    specialists and contemporary society)
    4. Objectives appear to be fixed.
    There must be a continuum of ends
    (objectives) and means because as we
    proceed, factors arise which reshape our
    ends in view. So ends in view are not fixed
    targets but suggestions or guides ( Dewey)
    Dewey argued for flexibility, freedom to
    change ends in view as they interact with the
    means
    Wheeler’s Model
    Wheeler suggested a cyclical model
    instead of a linear model with 5 steps
    Aims, Goals and Selection of
    Objectives learning experiences

    Selection of
    Evaluation
    Content

    Organization &
    Integration of
    Learning Experiences
    Strengths of wheeler’s model
    1. Shows curriculum development as a
    dynamic process
    2. Views curriculum elements as interrelated
    and interdependent
    3. Has feedback mechanism
    Criticisms of wheeler’s model
    1. It is not significantly different from the
    objectives model
    2. Selection of learning experiences comes
    before selection of content creating
    confusion
    3. Lacks a procedure for organising and
    integrating experiences, content and
    evaluation
    Other models
    1. Hilda Taba’s Model
    2. KICD Model
    3. CDACC’s Model
    etc.
