The document summarizes different models for curriculum development: 1) The Tyler Model is deductive, prescriptive, and linear, identifying objectives from students, society, and subject matter. 2) The Taba Model uses an inductive approach with teachers developing pilot units and revising them. 3) The Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model is deductive, starting with broad goals and moving to specific objectives and evaluation. 4) The Olivia Model involves 12+ steps from identifying needs to evaluating instruction and the curriculum.

2. Tyler Model-
known for planning phase, deductive, prescriptive, linear
Identify general objectives by gathering data from three sources:
•student as source-total range of needs-educational, social, occupational, physical, psychological, and
recreational *identifies set of potential objectives
•Society as source- contemporary life in local community and in society at large, develop a classification
scheme that divides life into various aspects such as health, family, recreation, vocation, religion,
consumption, and civic roles * lengthens set of objectives
•Subject matter as source- disciplines themselves
After gathering potential objectives, a screening process is necessary to eliminate unimportant and
contradictory objectives.
Philosophical screen- outline your values and illustrate by emphasizing the goals and values (curriculum
worker will review the list of general objectives and omit those that not in keeping with the faculty’s agreed
upon philosophy
Psychological Screen-teachers clarify the principals of learning that they believe to be sound (this will
reduce the # of objectives, leaving those that are most significant and feasible.
Care is taken to state the objectives in behavioral terms, which turns into instructional, classroom
objectives.

4. The Olivia Model
The Twelve Components
A process that takes the curriculum planner from the sources of the curriculum to evaluation.
Involves complete development of a school’s curriculum.
The following is the model broken into steps.
1. Specify the needs of students in general
2. Specify the needs of society.
3. Write a statement of philosophy and aims of education.
4. Specify the needs of students in your school(s).
5. Specify the needs of the particular community.
6. Specify the needs of the subject matter.
7. Specify the curriculum goals of your school(s).
8. Specify the curriculum objectives of your school(s).
9. Organize and implement the curriculum.
10. Specify instructional goals.
11. Specify instructional objectives.
12. Select instructional strategies.
13. Begin selection of evaluation techniques.
14. Implement instructional strategies.
15. Make final selection of evaluation techniques.
16. Evaluate instruction and modify instructional components.
17. Evaluate the curriculum and modify curricular components.
