Importance of Curriculum Development

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Every time there are changes or developments happening around the world, the school curricula are affected
  • #6 To illustrate this contention, let’s trace back history. SABER-TOOTH CURRICULUM During the ancient times, people taught their children knowledge and skills to survive by catching fish or hunting animals for food. They had no formal education during that time, but their children learned and acquired the knowledge and skills for survival. So, during that time, they already had a curriculum that other educators call as, the saber-tooth curriculum.
  • #7 However, when the effects of discoveries and inventions became inevitable, ancient people’s way of life had changed for the better. As a result, education became formal, and curriculum development evolved as systematic, planned, purposeful and progressive, even today.
  • #8 Curriculum development has a broad scope because it is not only about the school, the learners, and the teachers. It is also about the development of society in general.
  • #9 Curriculum development has a broad scope because it is not only about the school, the learners, and the teachers. It is also about the development of society in general.
  • #10 Curriculum development has a broad scope because it is not only about the school, the learners, and the teachers. It is also about the development of society in general.
  • #11 Curriculum development has a broad scope because it is not only about the school, the learners, and the teachers. It is also about the development of society in general.
  • #12 Curriculum development has a broad scope because it is not only about the school, the learners, and the teachers. It is also about the development of society in general.
  • #13 There must be a chain of developmental process to develop a society. First, the school curriculum, particularly in higher education, must be developed to preserve the country’s national identity and to ensure its economy’s growth and stability. Thus, the president of a country must have a clear vision for his people and the country as well.
