Answers

Curriculum development is the process of creating curriculum materials for use by educators and children that are product of curriculum planning.

It is difficult to give a definition for curriculum development, because it will always be affected very strongly by the context in which it takes place. We can think of curriculum development as a continuous process, which is relevant to the situation where it takes place, and flexible, so you can adapt it over time.

Curriculum development describes all the ways in which a training or teaching organization plans and guides learning. This learning, can take place in groups or with individual learners. It can take place inside a classroom or outside a classroom. It can take place in an institutional setting like a school, college or training centre, or in a village or a field. It is central to the teaching and learning process. (Rogers and Taylor) 1988).

Typically, curriculum development involves four main elements.

(i) Identify what learning is needed and decide on the type of training you need to provide to meet these learning needs.

(ii) Plan the training carefully, so that learning is most likely to take place.

(iii) Deliver the training so that learning does take place.

(iv) Evaluate the training so that there is evidence that learning has taken place. Curriculum Development involves the sum total of all the processes which determine how curriculum construction proceeds from the conceptualization stage to the evaluation stage.
