Many\u00a0factors affecting curriculum development\u00a0like changes in the world, design approaches, new perspectives, and development of profiles, research, professions, personal influences, and more affect the curriculum development approach<strong>.<\/strong> It is important that curriculum development stages\u00a0in positive improvements, which get cast on curriculum development\u00a0to accommodate and use such positive influences and shifts in its implementation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"Types-of-curriculum-development\" class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\">2. <strong>Types of curriculum development<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To achieve the outcomes of student learning and optimal development of students, curriculum development comprises several organizational methods and the various types of strategies used in\u00a0curriculum development processes to instruct students and implement organizational methods for a focused outcome. The two\u00a0types of curriculum design\u00a0are<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>The process model\u00a0is more about the learning process and is amenable or open-ended, focusing on time used on\u00a0curriculum development\u00a0and learning components.<\/li>\r\n<li>The product Model\u00a0is results\/ grades oriented. The focus lies not on the learning process but depends on the outcomes of the finished product.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The curriculum development types often need to strike a fine-balance that includes a combination of different strategies targeted towards meeting student needs and following the framework guidelines laid out to measure student outcomes and have met their educational needs. All students are unique, and so are their learning needs, resource requirements, teaching time required, and so on. The concept of development requires that the objectives of learning are also met. Thus at times and especially in educational needs addressable at higher levels, curriculum development becomes a challenge. Further, the desired outcome must be considered as learning by rote, and transitioning into real-world situations is like transitioning between two boats on a choppy sea. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Higher education course leaders are provided with an institutional framework with principles, guidelines etc., as a reference aid to the\u00a0concept of curriculum development\u00a0and then fashion their delivery of lessons around. Teachers are required to ensure the materials used are modern, comprehensible and directed towards meeting the educational needs of students and the objectives of curriculum development.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The expected\u00a0curriculum development\u00a0outcomes for teachers are to demonstrate and use the following\u00a0steps of curriculum development.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Content knowledge\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Resource knowledge<\/li>\r\n<li>Goals for instructional strategy<\/li>\r\n<li>Coherent design of lessons\/instructions<\/li>\r\n<li>Student needs and knowledge<\/li>\r\n<li>Student learning assessments.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"Curriculum-Design\" class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\">3. <strong>Curriculum Design<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The curriculum is set out to garner attitudes, skills, and knowledge before one can move to the next instructional level. In designing a curriculum within the framework provided, teachers have to meet the desired requirements to ensure they meet the requirements and outcomes desired in curriculum development.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The 3 types of\u00a0models of curriculum development\u00a0or curriculum design methods used are<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Learner-centred design<\/strong>\u00a0is focused on student learning, goals, interests, needs, etc. A standardized curriculum typically doesn\u2019t meet these goals with a uniform curriculum for all student needs. Hence the need for instructional plans and\u00a0types of curriculum development\u00a0that are differentiated with assignments, learning experiences, teachers, etc., selected as per student choices with the specific goal of motivating and engaging students with the curricula. This method suffers from time constraints in teaching, finding appropriate resources for every need, and balancing outcomes to match both the institution and students&#8217; requirements.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Subject-centred design<\/strong>\u00a0is focused on a specific discipline or subject. Ex: Communication, e-marketing, etc. The focus is not the student but the\u00a0characteristics of curriculum development\u00a0and the topic being taught. It is perhaps the most standard form of curriculum development in higher education. The major issue here is that motivational learning and student engagement suffer.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Problem-centred design<\/strong>\u00a0is focused on teaching students to identify, find solutions for and resolve problems. The authentic learning form occurs on a real-time and real-life issue to develop transferable skills in students transitioning into real-world problems. Though it is geared to increase creativity and curriculum relevance, it does not always address curriculum development challenges<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>to provide individual learning.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In modern times the proliferation of technology and information in almost all fields means that teachers have to involve themselves in curriculum development\u00a0cogently bringing value into its framework, design, and development. The task and\u00a0importance of curriculum development\u00a0with its guidelines involve ensuring curriculum development is directed towards students and teachers alike.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With technology upgrading resources available for the learning process, there has been a paradigm shift towards a combination of teaching types. This is meant to encourage students to learn experientially and satisfy their specific needs through project development aligned with the curricula. Another issue is that time-constraints exerted on the learning times can deter the student\u2019s learning process. \u00a0Thus the development of the curricula is walking a tight-rope for most teachers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Are you interested in learning more about Analytics in Workforce Management?
