Learning content refers to the facts, principles, and concepts that are taught as part of the curriculum. It is the medium through which instructional objectives are accomplished. There are three key questions related to developing learning content: 1) What knowledge, skills, attitudes, or values are most worthwhile to teach? 2) Why are they considered worthwhile? 3) How will they be acquired by students? When selecting learning content, schools must make wise choices given the vast amount of knowledge available, focusing on only the most essential material.

2. WHAT IS LEARNING
CONTENT?

3. • Curriculum content simply means
the totality of what is to be
taught in a school system.
• The content component of
teaching learning situation refers
to the important facts, principles
and concepts to be taught.

4. • These contents must be in line
with the learning experiences
and there must be clear
objective to be achieved by the
end of each respective lesson.

5. • The most useful, although not
necessarily the only form of stating
instructional objectives is that in
which the behavior and the
content of the learning are clearly
spelled out.

6. EXAMPLE:
• “The student will write in his own
words the meaning of the law of
supply and demand”
CONTENT PORTION: ?
BEHAVIOR ASPECT: ?

7. • “The student will write in his own
words the meaning of the law of
supply and demand”
CONTENT PORTION:

demand”

11. There are three questions related

13. In dealing with learning
content we have to content

“knowledge explosion”
phenomenon

14. How can a school make a
wise selection of content
from the ever growing
body of available human
learning?
