CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT: . THEORY AND APPLICATION
FALL, 1978.
Instructor: Maurice Gibbons
This course is designed to teach students how to design courses
students should be taught. The process includes how to determine what
students should learn, how to formulate a program to cultivate that
learning, how to produce the working program, how to improve its effective-
ness through field testing and development, and how to implement the
refined program in other settings. A variety of programs ?
from course
units to major national programs -- will be examined as case studies.
In class presentations, the theory of curriculum development will be
related to practice; in required activities study will be related to
the practice of program development skills.
Recommended preparatory reading:
Ralph W. Tylor: Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction, and
James W. Popham and Eva L. Baker: Planning An Instructional Sequence.
Several one-page papers and a curriculum development project will
be required.
