DEVELOPMENT:
Process and Models

2. CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
- It is defined as the process of
selecting, organizing, executing, and
evaluating learning experiences on
the basis of the needs, abilities and
interests of the learners and the
nature of the society or community.

process in school.

3. HARRY PASSOW
- one of the first educators to study the needs
of intellectually gifted children and one of the
first to see the problems of children living in
urban poverty.

4. IMPORTANT ASPECTS IN
THE CURRICULUM
DEVELOPMENT
APPROACHESCharacterized by Passow:
1. Participation in planning, testing and
evaluation. There should be planning by
all concerned, especially by those people
who know. Planning is an important
activity of an important enterprise. Testing
and evaluation are also important to be
able to know the results of planning and
implementation.

5. UNLOCKING OF DIFFICULTY
1. en·ter·prise
-a project or undertaking, typically one that is difficult or requires effort.

6. 2. Experimentation with procedures and
devices.
There should be more cooperative research in
field situations for improving practices. A
method or technique must undergo
experimentation first with a small group
before it is mandated to become a general
practice if it is found to be effective.

7. 3. Development of competent leadership.
Competent leadership must be developed
or recruited which will be able to secure
the full cooperation of all concerned to be
able to achieve goals.

8. CURRICULUM PLANNING,
CONSTRUCTION AND
DEVELOPMENT
Curriculum planning, curriculum construction and curriculum
development usually go together.
WHY DO YOU THINK SO?
According to Bernardino and Fresnoza
Curriculum involves
(a) planning the experiences to be utilized
(b) organizing them into a program
(c) implementing this program, and
(d) evaluating the curriculum which was thus developed.

9. MAJOR STEPS IN
CURRICULUM
CONSTRUCTION AND
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTAccording to Charters, are (Cited by Aquino,p.4)
1. Determine the major objectives of education by a study of
the life of man in it’s social setting.
2. Analyse these objectives in terms of ideals and activities and
continue the analysis to the level of the working unit.
3. Arrange these objectives in the order of importance.
4. Raise to positions of higher order in the list those ideals and
activities which are high in value for children but low in value
for adults.

10. 5. Determine the number of the most important items of the
resulting list which can be handled in the time allotted to
school education after deducting those which are better learned
outside the school.
6. Collect the best practices of the race in handling these ideals
and practices.
7. Arrange the materials so obtained in the proper instructional
order according to the psychological nature of children.
