CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Curriculum development can be defined as a
kind of step-by-step process used to create
positive improvements in the courses
offered in higher education.
SYSTEM
System simply as the integration of separate
but interdependent and interacting parts
into an organic whole which is meant to
accomplish a certain purpose or perform a
specific function.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
A conceptual framework refers to a visual or
written representation of the expected
relationship between the variables being
studied.
Curriculum Development System
Conceptual Framework
A conceptual framework for curriculum
encourages systematic curriculum evaluation that
will eventually allow us to more accurately
describe, explain, predict, and control the work of
curriculum.
