The document discusses models of curriculum development, focusing on the Tyler model and Taba model. The Tyler model emphasizes consistency between objectives, learning experiences, and outcomes. It involves determining objectives based on subject matter, learners, and society. Taba's model takes a grassroots approach, starting with teacher input to diagnose needs, formulate objectives, select content, organize and sequence content and learning experiences, and evaluate outcomes. Both models remain influential frameworks that emphasize defining objectives, designing learning experiences, and conducting evaluations.
The Taba Model was developed by Hilda Taba (1902 - 1967), an architect, a curriculum theorist, a curriculum reformer, and a teacher educator.Taba believed that there has to be a definite order in creating a curriculum.
She advocated that teachers take an inductive approach to curriculum development which meant starting with the specifics and building toward a general design, rather than the traditional deductive approach (starts with the general design and work towards the specifics) which was rooted in Tyler's model. Hilda Taba followed the grass-roots approach in developing curriculum
For her, it should be the teachers who should design the curriculum rather than the higher authorities (Oliva, 1992). More specifically stated, the Taba approach believes in allowing the curriculum to be developed and/or authored by the users (teachers). Under the Taba Model teachers are expected to begin each curriculum by creating specific teaching-learning units and building to a general design.
According to Khwaja, Akhtar, & Mirza (n.d.), "the Taba model was an attempt to ensure that decisions about curriculum are made on the basis of valid criteria and not whim or fancy." Her model of developing a curriculum consisted of seven main steps and over the years, these seven steps have formed the basis for Hilda Taba's ...
This solution provides information about Hilda Taba and her suggested approach to curriculum development. It also includes information about five of Taba's main elements required when developing a curriculum. The solution is referenced.

Introduction
To develop the curriculum is a tough and a dynamic process involving different procedures with the intention of improvement in the existing conditions. So its complexity is increased by the lack of the distinct ideas or models in the development and planning of curriculum. There are various important models for example principles of Ralph Tyler, Hilda Taba induction model, Galen Saylor and William Alexander etc. All models of curriculum development assist in the process of curriculum development.
The curriculum development models are very important for guiding all the planners of education, mentors, and administrators. Moreover; in order to produce positive changes, curriculum should be purposeful, planned and progressive. The objectives of a curriculum development model are based on the need of people at individual level as well as society level. Modeling is a way through which a curriculum development plan is defined. Models are samples that provide guidelines for educational purpose. The models are used in the development of curriculum for the better output.
This lesson examines the crucial stages of three curriculum development models known as Tyler, Taba , Galen Saylor and William Alexander .. For the use of specific way of teaching, learning and evaluation strategies, to plan an underlying principle, the curriculum development models help designers clearly and systematically.

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.

NON-SCIENTIFIC MODELS OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT SANA FATIMA
NON-SCIENTIFIC MODELS OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT:
GLATTHORN’S MODEL
NON-SCIENTIFIC MODELS:
1. Are Flexible and less structured without predetermined objectives to guide the teaching-learning process. It considers that the curriculum evolves rather than being planned precisely.
2. Based on the progressive philosophy where the needs and interests of individual learners and the needs of the society are the main concerns
3. Give recognition to the importance of music, arts, literature, health education & humanities.
4. The approaches in this category are humanistic and reconceptualist as this category prefers child centered and problem centered designs
• One of the most Recognized Nontechnical/Nonscientific Models is Allan Glatthorn’s model: Naturalistic Model
Glatthorn Model contains the following eight steps:
1. Assess the alternatives:
2. Stake out the territory:
3. Develop a constituency:
4, Build the knowledge base:
5. Block, in the Unit:
6. Plan quality learning experiences:
7. Develop the course examination:

KEY DEBATES ON INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
INCLUSIVE EDUCATION:
Inclusive education – also called inclusion – is education that includes everyone, with non-disabled and Disabled people (including those with “special educational needs”) learning together in mainstream schools, colleges, and universities
KEY DEBATES ON INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
1. Should teaching methods be adapted to students’ needs?
2. Does inclusive education necessarily imply greater participation by families and community networks in the educative process?
3. Are resources the key to the development of inclusive education policies?
4. What role should the state and public education authorities play in the movement for inclusive education?

SIGMUND FREUD- PSYCHOANALYSIS THEORY NOTES
INTRODUCTION:
Sigmund Freud (1856 to 1939) was the founding father of Psychoanalysis, a method for treating mental illness and also a theory which explains human behavior.
Freud believed that events in our childhood have a great influence on our adult lives, shaping our personality. For example, anxiety originating from traumatic experiences in a person's past is hidden from consciousness, and may cause problems during adulthood.
Freud believed that people could be cured by making conscious their unconscious thoughts and motivations, thus gaining "insight".
The aim of psychoanalysis therapy is to release repressed emotions and experiences, i.e. make the unconscious conscious.
Psychoanalysis is commonly used to treat depression and anxiety disorders.
It is only by having a cathartic (i.e. healing) experience can the person be helped and "cured"
STRUCTURE OF THE PSYCHE OR MIND:
CONCEPT OF CONSCIOUS, SUBCONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS MIND:

EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF FREUD’S THEORY:
CONCLUSION:
ANDRAGOGY (MALCOLM KNOWLES)- FOUR PRINCIPLESSANA FATIMA
ANDRAGOGY (MALCOLM KNOWLES)
Knowles’ theory of andragogy is an attempt to develop a theory specifically for adult learning. Knowles emphasizes that adults are self-directed and expect to take responsibility for decisions. Adult learning programs must accommodate this fundamental aspect.
Andragogy makes the following assumptions about the design of learning: (1) Adults need to know why they need to learn something (2) Adults need to learn experientially, (3) Adults approach learning as problem-solving, and (4) Adults learn best when the topic is of immediate value.
Malcolm Knowles’ four Principles of Andragogy:
Principle 1: Adults need to be involved in the planning and evaluation of their instruction.
Principle 2: Instruction should be task-orientated instead of memorization – learning activities should be in the context of common tasks performed
Principle 3: Adults are most interested in learning subjects that have immediate relevance and impact on their job or personal life
Principle 4: Adult learning is problem-centered rather than content-orientated.
PLANNING CLASSROOM TESTS AND ASSESSMENTSSANA FATIMA
Classroom tests and assessments play a central role in the evaluation of student learning like
Motivating the students
Measuring achievement
Assessing students prior knowledge
Identifying areas for review
Check instructional effectiveness
Maintain learning atmosphere
The main objective of classroom tests and assessments is to obtain valid, reliable, and useful information concerning student achievement.
PLANNING CLASSROOM TESTS AND ASSESSMENTS:
Grounlund and Linn (1990) have suggested the following 8 basic steps in classroom testing:
1. Determining the purpose of classroom tests and assessment.
2. Developing specifications for tests and assessment.
3. Selecting appropriate types of items and assessment tasks.
4. Preparing relevant test items
5. Assembling the test
6. Administering the test
7. Appraising the test
8. Using the results.
ASSESSMENT: The term assessment refers to the wide variety of methods or tools that educators use to evaluate, measure, and document the academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition, or educational needs of students.
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT:
There are four types of assessments
1) Prognostic assessment
2) Diagnostic assessment
3) Formative assessment
4) Summative assessment
RESEARCH DATA COLLECTION TOOL-CHECKLISTSSANA FATIMA
RESEARCH DATA COLLECTION TOOL-CHECKLISTS
A checklist is similar in appearance and uses the rating scale. The basic difference between them is in the type of judgment needed. On a rating scale, one can indicate the degree to which a characteristic is present or the frequency with which behavior occurs. The checklist, on the other hand, calls for a simple yes-no judgment. It is basically a method of recording whether a characteristic is present or absent or whether an action was or was not taken. Obviously, a checklist should not be used when the degree or frequency of occurrence is an important aspect of the appraisal.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

SCIENTIFIC MODELS OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT RALPH TYLER AND HILDA TABA
1.
2.
3. WHAT IS CURRICULUM
DEVELOPMENT?
Curriculum Development can be defined as the
systematic planning of what is taught and learned in
schools as reflected in courses of study and school
programmes.
In curriculum development, there are always changes
that occur that are intended for improvement. To do
this, there are models presented to us from well-
known curricularists like Ralph Tyler, Hilda Taba,
Galen Saylor and William Alexander.
4. WHAT IS A MODEL?
A model is a format for curriculum design
developed to meet unique needs, contexts,
and/or purposes. In order to address these
goals, curriculum developers design,
rearrange one or more key curriculum
components.
5. The most common models
followed in Curriculum
Development are:
1) Scientific Models
2) Non- Scientific Models
6. SCIENTIFIC MODELS OF
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Two famous scientific models of
curriculum development are given by
Ralph Tyler known as The Tyler model
and Hilda Taba known as The Taba
model
7. THE TYLER MODEL
The Tyler model is often referred to as the “objective
model” because of its objective approach to
educational evaluation. It emphasizes consistency
among objectives, learning experiences, and
outcomes.
In l949 Tyler published Basic Principles of Curriculum
and Instruction , in which he outlined a rationale for
examining the problems of curriculum and
instruction.
He mentioned that those involved in curriculum
inquiry must try to define the four basic principles.
10. 1) PURPOSES OF THE SCHOOL:
By “purposes,” Tyler was referring to objectives. He
indicated that curriculum planners should identify
these general objectives by gathering data from three
sources:
(i) The subject matter
(ii) The learners, and
(ii) The society
11. (2) EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES RELATED TO THE
PURPOSES :
Learning experiences had to take into account both the
previous experiences and the perceptions that the learner
brings to a situation.
3) ORGANIZATION OF THE EXPERIENCES:
Tyler next talked about the organization and
sequencing of the experiences.
Ordering of the experiences had to be somewhat
systematic so as to produce a maximum cumulative
effect. He thought that organizing elements, such as
ideas, concepts, values, and skills, should be woven as
threads into the curriculum fabric.
12. (4) EVALUATION OF THE PURPOSES:
Tyler’s last principle deals with evaluating the
effectiveness of planning and actions.
Evaluation is most important in curriculum
development as It is important to determine whether
program is effective or ineffective. An evaluation
should relate to all the objectives.
13. TABA MODEL
Hilda Taba followed the grass-roots approach in
developing curriculum. The grass- roots approach, a
model whose steps or stages are similar to Tyler’s.
She believed in an inductive approach (starting with
specifics and building to a general design)
Hilda Taba believed that those who teach curriculum
should participate in developing it.
For her, it should be the teachers who should design
the curriculum rather than the higher authorities.
14. Taba noted seven major steps to her grass roots
model in which teachers would have major
input:
15. 1) DIAGNOSIS OF NEEDS:
The teacher (curriculum designer) starts the process
by identifying the needs of the students for whom the
curriculum is to be planned.
2) FORMULATION OF OBJECTIVES:
After the teacher has identified needs that require
attention, he or she specifies objectives to
accomplished.
3) SELECTION OF CONTENT:
The objectives selected or created suggest the subject
matter or content of the curriculum. Not only should
objectives and content match, but also the validity and
significance of the content chosen needs to be
determined
16. 4) ORGANIZATION OF CONTENT:
A teacher cannot just select content, but must
organize it in some type of sequence, taking into
consideration the maturity of the learners, their
academic achievement, and their interests.
5) SELECTION OF LEARNING EXPERIENCES:
Content must be presented to pupils and pupils must
engage the content. At this point, the teacher’s
instructional methods involve the students with the
content.
17. 6) ORGANIZATION OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
Just as content must be sequenced and organized, so
must the learning activities. Often the sequence of the
learning activities is determined by the content. But
the teacher needs to keep in mind the particular
students whom he or she will be teaching.
7) EVALUATION AND MEANS OF EVALUATION:
The curriculum planner must determine just what
objectives have been accomplished. Evaluation
procedures needs to be considered by the students and
teachers.
18. APPLICATION OF THE MODEL:
The model is currently used today in most curriculum
design. The steps that are still used are:
1. Identifying the needs of the students.
2. Developing objectives
3. Selection of instructional methods.
4. Organizing learning experiences
5. Evaluation.
