Curriculum Development
▪ Curriculum is planned, developed, implemented and
evaluated in order to be planned again, for making it more
meaningful, based upon the results of Evalution. So we can
say that the curriculum development is a cyclic process.
▪ Teacher is the most significant agent and plays a key role. He
has to be involved in all the stages of development of
curriculum which he has to implement. This would help in
making it more realistic and practicable.
▪ Curriculum is based upon the needs of society 4
