10. Seven major steps- teachers
would have major input
Step 1: Diagnose of needs:
The teacher (curriculum designer) starts the process by identifying the needs of the students for
whom the curriculum is to be designed.
Step 2: Formulation of objectives:
After the teacher has identified needs that require attention, he specifies objectives to be
accomplished.
Step 3: Selection of content:
The objectives selected or created suggest the subject matter or content of the curriculum.
Objectives and content should be match.
Step 4:Organization of content:
A teacher cannot just select the content, but mustorganize in some type of sequence, taking
learner maturity into consideration, learner’s academic achievements and their interests.
11. Step 5: Selection of learning experience:
Content must be presented to students and they must engage
the content. Here, the teacher selects instructional
methods that will involve the students with the content.
Step 6: Organization of learning experience:
As content must be sequenced and organized; the learning
activities, too.
Step 7: Evaluation and means of evaluation:
The curriculum planner must determine just what objectives
have been accomplished. Evaluation procedures need to be
considered by the teacher and students.
