North American Conceptions for the Design and Organization of the School Curriculum

The normative design and general operation of the school experience cannot be accomplished without engaging in the act of curriculum development. The idea of translating purposes into experiences that yield effects that are, in turn, understood in relation to originally stated purposes is at the heart of curriculum development. The entire process is screened against a theoretical framework that requires all judgments to be made in relation to the nature of the learner, the values of the society and some judgment of worthwhile subject matter. This is a principled view of curriculum development sanctioned in North America by a long line of work emerging mostly from the progressive educational literature.

Objectives
In this course, student will be expected to understand:

- the historical evolution of the concept of curriculum development in its North American context

- the main theoretical foundations and procedural features of the curriculum development process

- the application of the Tyler Rationale to school development problems
