Introduction
Curriculum development is a process through which an institute or the instructor designs or creates a plan for a course or program. Furthermore, it is not a stagnant approach and includes continuous improvement wherein, the content is reviewed, revised and updated according to the needs and demands.
Curriculum management is the process of developing, maintaining, and improving the quality of curricula for various educational intuitions. The curriculum manager is responsible for designing and developing the curriculum with a range of content, training programs, teaching methodologies, and assessment techniques for students, learners, and employees. The developed curriculum should meet the educational standards set by the government and academic bodies.
Higher education curriculum development focused on shaping future leaders through innovation involves designing educational programs that prepare students for leadership roles by incorporating innovative approaches, skills, and knowledge. The goal is to equip students with the ability to navigate complex and rapidly changing environments, think critically, and contribute to advancements in their respective fields.

Curriculum Change
With changing time, curriculum should also change reflecting the needs and aspirations of the people. There cannot be a uniform curriculum for all the countries for all the time, because education is related to social, economic and political changes in the country. Curriculum content should be based on current information and not on the past information that has been proved to be false or outdated and unusable. There is therefore need for constantly changing and updating the curriculum content.

TEACHER SUPPORT CURRICULUM- DESIGNING TEACHER GUIDES, SUBJECT RESOURCE MODULES
TEACHER GUIDES:
Teacher Guides support teachers in five key areas:
Planning:
Teaching approaches:
Assessment:
Learning environment:
SUBJECT RESOURCE MODULES:
MODULES ARE USED TO:
THREE KEY THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT WHILE DESIGNING A MODULE FOR ANY SUBJECT:
1. Be clear about the module purposes and aspirations for student participants and communicate these to students:
2. Make sure your module is constructively aligned (the learner actively constructs their own understanding and all teaching and assessment are aligned with outcomes the intended).
3. Considering the course in context (department, institution, sector):
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Defining Curriculum Design
Curriculum design is a blueprint of the learning objectives for students
as well as tutors.
The curriculum once designed provides a clear pathway with regards
to learning outcomes, teaching goals and ultimately helps students in
acquiring and retaining key skills, subject knowledge and
competencies.
With student development as one of the core aspects of curriculum
design - a well structured curriculum takes into account the student’s
past curricula, and current teaching and assessment trends, to ensure
that students have a holistic development on the personal, academic
as well as professional fronts.
3. Evolution of Curriculum Design
Early man passed on hunting
techniques to the next
generation
Today’s technologically
charged environment
coupled with the vast
progress of humanity-calls
for curricula that deal with
multiple subjects.
4. How is Time Utilized in a Classroom?
According to a newly designed curriculum, time in the classroom will
need to be divided into the following key areas:
Deploy
effective
learning
strategies
Identify
preferred
learning
methods
Effective
skills
development
Efficient
objective
setting
Goal setting
and time
allocation
Skill
development
through self
evaluation
5. Kern’s Six Step Methodology for Curriculum
DesignKern et. al. has suggested a Six Step method for curriculum design. Even
though these six steps are mainly targeted at medical students, the
assumption here is that these principles can be applied to the general
student demographic.
Problem
Identification
Needs Assessment
Goals and
Objectives
Evaluation and
Feedback
Educational
Strategies
Implementation
6. ● Problem Identification: Provides a rationale for the curriculum by
considering student, teacher and societal needs.
● Needs Assessment: Assess the needs and environment of students to
influence behavioural and performance outcomes.
● Goals and Objectives: Goals provide a broad view of the general ends of the
learning and teaching experience. Objectives focus on the components of a
curriculum and support the goals set for the targeted students and
teachers.
● Educational Strategies: Divided into curriculum content and educational
methods - to achieve behavioural and cognitive objectives.
● Implementation: Assists the process of curriculum design with respect to the
personnel, learning duration, facilities and funding.
● Evaluation and Feedback: This step provides clues on individual
achievements, scope for curriculum improvement and plays a vital role in
assessing whether the goals and objectives are fulfilled.

Design
8. What Questions Are Posed to a Curriculum
Designer?
Ralph W Tyler from the University of Chicago proposed these
questions to academics who design curricula:
● What educational purposes should the curriculum seek to attain?
● What educational experience can be provided by the curriculum
to obtain the purposes?
● How can the educational experiences be organized and
delivered?
● How can the educational purposes be evaluated for efficiency in
terms of content, measuring student outcomes and provide an
overall assessment of the proposed curriculum?
9. Taxonomy of Educational Objectives
Benjamin Bloom from the University of Chicago proposed the
Taxonomy of Educational Objectives.
COGNITIVE AFFECTIVE
PSYCHO-
MOTOR
13. Levels of Curriculum Design
The Planned
Curriculum
What is intended for
the students by the
curriculum?
The Delivered
Curriculum
What is taught by
teachers?
The Experienced
Curriculum
What is learnt by the
students?
14. Types of Curriculum Design
Subject Based Design
Subject-centered curriculum design
describes what needs to be studied and
how it should be studied.
Drawback:
Does not take into account a student’s
individual learning style.
Problem Based Design
Is focused on teaching students on
observing problems and arriving at
solutions based on life experiences.
Drawback:
May not take individual learning styles
into consideration.
Learner Based Design
Pays special attention to the varied
learning needs of students, and
accommodates different student needs.
Drawback:
Puts pressure on instructors to create
customized material conducive to varying
student needs.
15. Determinants of Content in Curriculum
Design
While creating the content and the objectives for a curriculum these
are the components that are taking into consideration:
Knowledge Component
Concepts, Principles, Theories
and Laws.
Process and Skill Component
Mental Processes and Physical
Processes
Affective Component
Attitudes and Values
16. How is Content Selected for a New
Curriculum?
Validity
Content that is accurate and
current based on advances,
discoveries, global and local
events.
Learnability
Content focused on the
learner’s level of subject matter
comprehension.
Relevance
Content needs to reflect the
social, cultural and
technological environments
that the student interacts
with.
Balance
Content must maintain a
balance between constant
fundamental aspects and
changing theoretical and
practical aspects of a subject.
Feasibility
Content that takes into
consideration resources,
personnel and an institute’s
calendar of events.
