• Sub-chapters
7. Each Chunk is guided by the general curriculum
objectives or goals.
Division of the content may use deductive principle.
Arrangement of scope is inductive.
Content Outline of the Curriculum may follow some
design:
√ Thematic
√ Linear
√ Logical
8. The thematic curriculum promotes high quality learning
through engaging topics and it is sequenced to provide a
clear framework of progression in skills and knowledge to
equip children for the next stage of their education.
Thematic Curriculum
10. The first type of curriculum model is the “linear
models of curriculum.
– this model prescribe a rational step- by – step
procedure for curriculum development starting

Linear Curriculum
12. The curriculum provide for the Logical
Sequence of subject Matter, classes and

achieve orderly development of subject
matter and step by step progress of a
learner.
Logical curriculum
14. • It is the order in which the content
should be taught for the best
learning.
• The materials and plans for the
learning experiences are organized

15. It is the order in which the content should
be taught for the best learning.
The materials and plans for the learning
experiences are organized around
A Sequence designed to support children at
various levels of development.
Simple to complex learning- content and
experiences are organized,
From simple to complex from concrete to
abstract and from easy to difficult.
16. • Pre requisite Learning- there are
fundamental things to be Learned ahead
Like letters before words, words before
phrases and phrases before sentences.
• Whole to part Learning – overview before
specific content or topics
• Chronological learning – order of events is
made as a basis of sequencing the content
and the experiences
• The sequence can be arranged from the
most recent to the distant past vice versa
40. Pointers:
Curriculum design committee should involve teachers,
parents, administrators and even students.
School’s vision, mission, goals and objectives should be
reviewed and used as a bases for curriculum design.

Well-intended curriculum cannot always meet the needs of all learners in the
classroom. Teachers are the experts, when it comes to understanding the
individualized needs of each student. Differentiated or Adaptive instruction is
critical so that it ensures that each student will maximize their potential.
Teachers may group students by interest to encourage collaborative learning or to
assess student progress so that the teacher can determine the pace of curriculum
delivery. Teachers may also create groups with varied levels of student achievement
to encourage collaborative learning and success. The curriculum process relies on
teachers to modify content delivery, as needed.
47. 47
During the curriculum process, teachers consider
how they can incorporate student choice into
classroom learning. Teachers can help students
connect content to an individualized plan that
reflects a career interest. Project-based learning is
a dynamic option that teachers must plan in
advance, during the curriculum process. This hands-
on technique immerses students in a practical
project that brings alive the classroom curriculum.
Providing a wide variety of learning options speaks
to the needs of all students and optimizes
learning potential. Teachers use the curriculum
process to plan and coordinate student choice
options.

54. 1.Curriculum change is inevitable,
necessary and desirable
One of the characteristics of curriculum is its being
dynamic, Societal development and knowledge revolution
come so fast that the need to address the changing
condition requires new curriculum designs.
55. ⊳ 2. CURRICULUM REFLECTS
AS A PRODUCT OF ITS TIME
A relevant curriculum should respond to
changes brought about by current social
forces, philosophical positions, psychological
principles, new knowledge and educational
56. ⊳ 3. CURRICULUM CHANGES MADE
EARLIER CAN EXIST CONCURRENTLY
WITH NEWER CURRICULUM CHANGES.
A revision in a curriculum starts and end slowly, More often,
curriculum is gradually phased in and phased out thus the
change that occurs can coexist and often times overlaps for a
long period of time.
57. ⊳ 4. CURRICULUM CHANGES
DEPENDS ON PEOPLE WHO
WILL IMPLEMENT THE
CHANGE.
Teachers who will implement the curriculum
should be involved in its development, hence
should know how to design a curriculum. This will
assure an effective and long lasting change.
58. ⊳ 5。CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
IS A COOPERATIVE GROUP
ACTIVITY. Group decisions in some aspects
of curriculum development are suggested.
Consultations with stakeholders when possible will
add to sense of ownership. Any significant change

the curriculum.
61. ⊳ 8. CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT IS
MORE EFFECTIVE IF IT IS A
COMPREHENSIVE PROCESS,
RATHER THAN A PIECEMEAL.

and needed time available and teaching of pedagogically
equipped.
62. ⊳ 9.CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTIS MORE
EFFECTIVE HEN IT FOLLOWS A

Curriculum planners and designers should begin with
existing curriculum, An existing design is a good
starting point for any teacher who plans to enhance
