    EDUCATION 471
    CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
    FALL 1977
    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.
