The document discusses different aspects of curriculum including definitions, designs, and models. It defines curriculum as the planned learning experiences and intended outcomes designed by schools. Three common curriculum designs are discussed - subject-centered focusing on content, learner-centered centered on learners, and problem-centered organizing around problems. Four curriculum development models are summarized - Tyler's model originating in 1949 uses objectives, Taba's grassroots model engages teachers, Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis's model specifies goals before design, and Oliva's deductive model allows faculty input.
