This document provides an overview of Hilda Taba's model of curriculum development. It discusses that Taba believed curriculum should be developed through an inductive and grassroots approach, starting with identifying students' needs. The major steps in Taba's model are: 1) Diagnosing needs, 2) Formulating objectives, 3) Selecting content, 4) Organizing content, 5) Selecting learning experiences, 6) Organizing learning experiences, and 7) Evaluating. Taba argued curriculum should promote democratic education and be experiential for students.
A model is a three-dimensional representation of a person or thing or of a proposed structure, typically on a smaller scale than the original:"a model of St. Paul's Cathedral“
A Model is a pattern of something to be made or reproduced and means of transferring a relationship `or process from its real (actual) setting to one which it can be more conveniently studied.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

• 7.5 Comparison of Tyler’s & Taba’s model
5. Hilda Taba
Introduction
• 1902-1967
• Architect
• Theorist
• Curriculum reformer
• Teacher educator
• Dewey’s student
• Famous book: Curriculum development :
Theory & Practice (1962)
6. Taba’s definition of curriculum
• A curriculum is usually contains a statement of
aims and of specific objectives; it indicate
some selection and organization of content
10. Why models?
Models are designed to provide a basis
for decisions regarding the selection ,
structuring and sequencing of the
educational experiences.
11. Types of curriculum Models
There are three types of curriculum models:
• Rational/Objective models
(Ralph Tyler & Hilda Taba)
• Cyclical Models
(Wheeler & Nichols)
• Dynamic/Interaction models
(Walker & Skilbeck)
12. Conti…
• Hilda Taba believes that the persons who
transact curriculum should be involved in
developing it.
• She does not appreciate the top to down or
administrative approach where the curriculum
is designed by the people at the top and
implemented at the grass roots. Also she feels
it is wrong approach and suggests grass roots
model
13. Conti…
• However the steps involved even in this model
are similar to the Tyler model.
• She says that the curriculum should be
designed by using inductive approach.
• Teachers should begin the process by
preparing the teaching/learning units for their
students i.e.
From specific lessons it should go to general
design
14. Major steps
There are seven major steps of Taba Model:
1-Diagnosis of needs:
The process of designing
curriculum starts with the
identification of students’ needs
for whom it is designed.
15. 1-Diagnosis of needs
• Diagnosis of learner achievement
• Diagnosis of students as learner
• Diagnosis of curriculum problems
Systematic Diagnosis:
Problem Identification
Problem Analysis
Formulating hypothesis and collecting analysis
Experimenting with action
16. Major steps
2-Formulation of objectives:
Based on the needs of learners, the
teacher will be able to understand
what the specific objectives the
learner needs to achieve
17. Principles of formulating Objectives
• Objectives should be useful, cleared and
concreteness
• Objectives should describe both kind of
behavior i.e. Expected and content
• Objective should be realistic
• Scope of objectives should be broad
18. Formulation of learning objectives
Main objectives are:
• To add to knowledge they posses
• To enable them to perform skills which otherwise
they would not perform
• To develop certain understanding, insights and
appreciations
• Development of healthy personality
• Analysis of particular culture and society which
educational program serves
19. Major steps
3-Selection of content:
The objectives will provide clear
direction while selecting the
content/subject matter or the
curriculum as a whole. The selected
content should be validated against
objectives.
20. 3-Selection of content
• Content should be rational base
• Validity and significance of content
• Consistency with social realities
• Appropriateness to the needs and interest of
students
• Making proper distinctions between the
various levels of content
21. Major steps
4. Organization of the content:
Once selection of content is done, the
content needs a systematic organization
by following the basic principles involved
in content organization. It also depends
on the required sequence, learners'
maturity/interests and academic
achievement levels.
22. 4. Organization of the content
• Through the selection, then determined
curriculum that prepared the order, so look at
the curriculum or what class it should be given
23. Major steps
5. Selection of learning experience:
Teachers should plan the appropriate
learning experiences suitable to the
content.
The methods and other learning
environment should be planned to
acquire the content.
24. 5. Selection of learning experience
• At this stage determined the learning
experience of students in order to achieve
learning experiences of students
25. Major steps
6. Organization of learning
experiences/activities:
The learning experiences should be
systematically organized in a sequential
manner. Also, the organization of experiences
depends on the sequence of the content. The
teacher should also plan or organize keeping
in view the learners.
26. 6. Organization of learning
experiences/activities:
• Teacher then determine how to package
learning experiences that have determined
that the packages into the activity, students
were invited as well, so that they have a
responsibility to implement the learning
activities.
27. Major steps
7. Evaluation and means of evaluation:
In order to assess or appraise the
achievement of objectives, it is necessary
to plan the suitable evaluation
procedures for the students and
teachers.
28. 7-Determining the evaluation tools
and procedures
• Plans need to be made for evaluation
• How should the quality of learning be evaluated
to assure that the ends of education are being
achieved.
• How does one make sure that there is
consistency between the aims and objectives and
what is actually received by the students
• Does the curriculum organization provide
experiences which offer optimum opportunities
for all varieties of learners to attain independent
goals
30. Taba’s philosophical standpoint on
curriculum
Taba argued that education for democracy was a
critical component of contemporary schooling
and curricula, and that it needed to be
experiential, where children learn to solve
problems and resolve conflicts together. Her
thinking in democratic education
foreshadowed constructivist curricula.
31. Applications of Taba’s Model
• Taba model is currently used in most of
curriculum designs
• Identifying the needs of students
• Developing objectives
• Selecting instructional method
• Organizing learning experiences
• Evaluating
32. Strengths of Taba’s Model
• Taba model is based on inductive approach
• Taba model is based on Teacher approach
• Taba believe that teachers are aware of
students’ needs hence they should be the one
to develop the curriculum
• Gross Root approach is used in Taba’s model
• Main idea is that needs of the students are at
the fore front of the curriculum
33. Strengths of Taba’s Model
• Gives teachers a greater role by not just
making them implementers of the curriculum
but also developers
• Sees curriculum as a plan for learning
• Gives importance to objectives
34. Limitations
• However, there are limitations to this model in
spite of being a good model designed with a
grass-roots consideration.
• It is good for the individual context to design,
but if it has to be generalized, it would be
difficult to take care of such a wide variety of
learners' needs, contexts, subjects, society,
etc.
35. Conti….
• In spite of such limitations, this is a great
attempt made to recognize the importance of
grass-roots or field workers to be involved in
the task and then some top-level
administrators suggesting it.
37. Tyler Model v/s Taba Model
Tyler Model Taba Model
Tyler’s model is deductive Taba’s is inductive
Tyler’s approach argues from the administrator
approach
Taba’s reflects the teacher’s approach
Tyler believes that administration
should design the curriculum and the teachers
implement it
Taba believes that the teachers are aware of
the students needs; hence teachers should be
the ones to develop the curriculum and
implement in practice
Taba’s is the grass-roots approach.
