Constructivism, modular curriculum, credit system, Information technology these all are the emerging trends in curriculum development. These trends should be given proper justice while developing curriculum. Educators should learn to work together with their students, and with other experts in creating content, and are able to tailor it to exactly what they need.

D.K. Wheeler was an educator at the University of Western Australia in 1967. He developed and extended the ideas by the work. Wheeler’s definition of curriculum: “the planned experiences offered to the learner under the guidance of the school”. He developed and extended the ideas by the work, Influenced by the work of Tyler, Taba, and Bloom. The wheeler curriculum model is prescriptive as well as cyclical (non- linear) with 5 inter- dependent stages.
Wheeler’s 5 curriculum development stages
1. Aims, goals and objective
2. selection of learning experience
3. selection of content
4. organization and integration of learning experiences and content
5. Evaluation
Wheeler’s cyclical model has the advantage of flexibility over the linear models: it allows curriculum specialists to start working at any stage in the process. The Wheeler model also emphasizes content selection, and the integration of content in providing quality learning experiences. This model focuses on situational analysis: the context in which the curriculum decisions are taken is considered important, as this is believed to help make the most effective decision.
A model is really the first step in curriculum development. A curriculum model determines the type of curriculum used; it encompasses educational philosophy, approach to teaching, and methodology. The good news is, unless you've been hired to design curriculum, you won't come across many curriculum models. However, it's good for educators to be familiar with the models used in their schools
The basic tenet of the dynamic or interactional models of curriculum development is that curriculum development is a dynamic and interactive process which can begin with any curriculum element (Print 1989, Brady 1990).
Walkers Model of Curriculum develop by Decker Walker 1971.
The proponents of this approach to curriculum development argue that the curriculum process does not follow a lineal, sequential pattern. Dynamic models have emerged from a more descriptive approach to curriculum where researchers have observed the behavior of teachers and developers as they devise curricula. Consequently the analytical and prescriptive approach, the very basis of the objectives and cyclical models, is not prominent in the dynamic models.
Platform
The three phases of Walker's model are the platform phase, the deliberation phase and the design phase. In the platform phase, platform statements made up of ideas, preferences, points of view, beliefs and values that are held by curriculum developers are recognized.
Deliberation
When the curriculum developers start discussing on the basis of the recognized platform statements, this is the second stage of deliberation, which is a complex, randomized set of interactions that eventually achieves an enormous amount of background work before the actual curriculum is designed (Print 1989 ).
Design
In this phase developers make decisions about the various process components (the curriculum elements). Decisions have been reached after extended discussion and compromise by individuals. The decisions are then recorded and these become the basis for a curriculum document or specific curriculum materials.
Teachers use curricula when trying to see what to teach to students and when, as well as what the rubrics should be, what kind of worksheets and teacher worksheets they should make, among other things.
It is actually up to the teachers themselves how these rubrics should be made, how these worksheets should be made and taught; it's all up to the teachers.

Topic: Curriculum Development Process.pptxSobiaAlvi
Introduction
Curriculum development is a process through which an institute or the instructor designs or creates a plan for a course or program. Furthermore, it is not a stagnant approach and includes continuous improvement wherein, the content is reviewed, revised and updated according to the needs and demands.
Curriculum management is the process of developing, maintaining, and improving the quality of curricula for various educational intuitions. The curriculum manager is responsible for designing and developing the curriculum with a range of content, training programs, teaching methodologies, and assessment techniques for students, learners, and employees. The developed curriculum should meet the educational standards set by the government and academic bodies.
This presentation examines the structure of higher education in India and the mechanisms of its regulation. It also captures future trends of Indian higher education.
Tutoria is an important teaching method in undergraduate education. It complements and supplements theory sessions. Further, it develops important cognitive and metacognitive skills among students.
This presentation deals with the different aspects of student mentoring and various steps involved in it. It also describes effective mentoring behaviors.
PhD education is the first step towards developing research culture in an academic institution. However, doctoral education is in a big mess in India. It is characterised by poor quality work, plagiarism, and little contribution to the body of knowledge. The presentation also discusses what we can do to improve doctoral education in India.
Traditionally examination was the purpose of learning. However, our conception of learning is changing and it is being front ended. Now assessment is also being treated as learning. This presentation deals with assessment, feedback and assurance of learning.
Two sides of indian higher education: government and private educationAnup Singh
This presentation points out that Indian private education in the higher education sector is growing fast. However, it suffers from lack of government support. Rather control becomes a pretext for harassment. it also describes the dynamics of malaise in higher education: both government and private. It provides some suggestions for effective regulation of higher education
This presentation compares and contrasts quality assurance and assurance of learning. It further elaborates the process of assurance of learning. It also elucidates direct and indirect measures of learning.
Impact of Indian culture onresearch productivity and innovationAnup Singh
This presentation explore the impact of the Indian culture on research productivity and innovation. It also examines how does the culture work to impact research and innovation
This presentation deals with the vital aspect of success, i.e., goal setting. It is so important for all of us. When we fail to set a goal, we fail to achieve it.
Communication and networking are the two most important skills for managers. However, networking has received less attention. This presentation focuses on the different dimensions of networking to help managers.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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.

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”.
2. What Is a Syllabus?
Syllabus is a guideline for the instruction of a subject.
It is based on subject standards.
3. Course Outline
Course outline is a blueprint for the implementation
of a subject/course. It is a bridge between the
instructor and students. It covers the overview of a
subject, specific contents, pedagogies and assessment
methods.
4. Relationship between the Two
Two dominant views:
There is no difference between the two
They must be differentiated as they differ conceptually
and procedurally (I subscribe to this approach)
5. Comparison of Syllabus and Course Outline
Syllabus Course Outline
It is a guideline
It is universal
It is about proposed
contents
It is static
It is constant for all
instructors
It is a determiner of course
outline
It is specific by nature
It is both universal and
contextual
It is about contents,
pedagogy and assessment
It is dynamic
It is a creative outcome of
an instructor/area thinking
It is affected by several
factors besides syllabus
6. Role of Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes are the fulcrum of any course.
Everything in a course revolves around them.
Success of a course hinges on the achievement of
learning outcomes.
Learning outcomes of a course have to relate with the
learning outcomes of a programme.
Learning outcomes at Jaipuria are developed , using
RBT.
8. Approaches to Course Design
Use a theoretical framework
Divide a course into modules on thematic basis
Content driven design
Less knowledge, more thinking based design
Hybrid approach
9. Typical Problems with Course Design
Lack of alignment among learning outcomes,
contents and assessment
Incoherent and scattered contents
Highly information driven course
Poor overview of the course
Mismatch between coverage and instructional
methods
Disconnect between learning outcomes and
assessment
Course outline inconsistent with course design policy
