What to know?
What is curriculum development and its importance?
Curriculum Development
• Curriculum Development is defined as planned, purposeful,
progressive, and systematic process in order to create
positive improvements in the educational system.
• Given the importance of curriculum development in formal

education, the curriculum has become a dynamic process due
to the changes that occur in our society. Therefore, in its
broadest sense, curriculum refers to the “total learning
experiences of individuals not only in school but society as
well” (Bilbao et al., 2008).
Importance
• Curriculum development plays a vital role in improving the
economy of a country.
• Provides answers or solutions to the world’s pressing
conditions and problems, such as environment, politics, socio-
economics, and other issues on poverty, climate change and
sustainable development. Supports the learners personal
development by enhancing their self- respect, confidence and
motivation
• Helps students unleashed the skills, abilities, and strengths
that they possess.
• Teacher modernized, prepare, and innovative.

What to know?
Twentieth Century Curriculum?
Before 20th Century
• sectarian education
• confined to religion-related orientations and classics
• unwillingness to recognize the values of arts, music,
physical and vocational education
• compartmentalisation and not interdisciplinary
subject
20th Century Curriculum
The student, science, and society were the three issues that
inspired the development of 20th-century education. So-called
progressive education movements that favor child-centered
education, scientific-realist education, and social
reconstruction created the groundwork for this trifecta. There
were significant figures fighting for older traditions against the
different "modern" lines of 20th-century schooling. During the
last four decades of the twentieth century, education in all
levels had vastly improved. Essentialists emphasized those
human experiences that they believed were necessary for
people throughout history.
This shift was also influenced by the scientific movement in
child psychology (which focused on the whole child and
learning theories in the 1900's). The argument that classics had
no greater disciplinary or mental value than other subjects
eventually appeared and meant that mental discipline (which
emphasized drill and memorization) was no longer considered
conducive for the overall growth and development of children.
In essence, societal changes and the emerging demands
therefrom; the stress on psychology and science; and the
concern for social and educational reform made evident the
need for a new curriculum.
Thus, the aims of education went hand in hand with the
particular type of society involved: conversely, the society
that evolved influenced the aims s of education.
Thus, the early twentieth century was a period of
educational reform characterized by the following:
i. idea of mental discipline was replaced by utilitarian modes of
thought and scientific inquiry.
ii. Curriculum tended not to be compartmentalized but to be
interdisciplinary
iii. Curriculum tended not to be static but dynamic-
changing with the changes in society.
iv. Needs and interest of students came to be considered of

primary importance.
And now curriculum is viewed as a science with principles

and methodology not just as content or subject matter.

What to know?
What are the trends in curriculum?
Trends in Curriculum
These trends should be given proper justice while developing

curriculum. Educators should learn to work together with their
students, and with other experts in creating content, and are
able to tailor it to exactly what they need.
Modern Trends in Curriculum Development
1. Digital Diversity
2. Need Based Curriculums
3. Modular Curriculum with credit base system
4. Online Courses
5. 21st century skills
6. International Understanding
7. Constructivism
1. Digital Diversity
Present age is an age of ICT technology has touched to al
the wakes of human life. Technology has made various tasks
easy, convenient and of quality. To survive in the concern filed
it is necessary for everyone to have a knowledge and skill of
technology. Education makes man enable to contribute, it
strengthens the capabilities. For the effective transaction of
curriculum ICT is must.
2. Need Based Curriculums
Researchers in all the fields resulted into specialization.
Need based curriculum is the foremost need of the present
education system. Many universities are developing need
based short term programs for this purpose.
3. Modular Curriculum with credit base system
Modular curriculum gives real freedom of learning
especially in the open learning system his approach has been
adopted at first but now majority of traditional universities
also accepting his system; this is a real emerging trend in the
modern curriculum.
4. Online courses
Need based and choice-based curriculums are available online
also. E.g., course era.com has introduced many useful need-based
courses for free of cost. Government also takes initiative for this e.g.
Right to Information certificate curse has been introduced by
Government of India to the Indian people. This course is free and
online.
5. 21st century skills
All the curriculums of various courses should focus on 21st
century skills. Skills like collaboration, critical thinking, effective
communication, multitasking stress management, empathy are must
for all the personals.
6. International Understanding
Globalization has made converted the world into global village.
We should consider world as a one family and for this international
understanding must be inculcate through curriculum.
7. Constructivism
Constructivist approach believes that learner should be given
freedom to construct his/her knowledge. Spoon feeding must be
avoided. If a learner is fully active in construction of knowledge,
then learning process will be highly effective. In all the
curriculums constructivist strategies must be given important
place.
Possible Future
Keeping in view the prevalent political, economic and academic climate, it is not
difficult for us to visualize future trends and the influence they may have on
education, particularly on curriculum development. The fact that social changes
will have a vital role in determining a curriculum. If the present day growth of
information is any indication the information flow will increase rapidly in the
future. Clearly, the increasing flow of information negates the traditional notion
of content-mastery. Students, therefore, will need to acquire critical thinking,
and problem solving abilities rather than static and/or absolute knowledge and
skills of factual recall. Further, in the 21st century, the need for change will
accelerate. For example, it took us more than one century to shift from an
agricultural society to an industrial one. But it took hardly two decades to shift
from an industrial to an information society.
Possible Future
1. Digital delivery
No longer shackled to books as their only source of
content, educators and students are going online to find
reliable, valuable, and up-to-the-minute information.
2. Interest-driven
Though students typically have to wait until their third
year of college to choose what they learn, the idea of K-12
education being tailored to students' own interests is
becoming more common place.
Possible Future
3. Skills 2.0
Eleven years into the 21st century, the buzz words "21st
century skills" are being thrown around in describing what
needs to be taught in schools: real-world readiness. Things like
collaboration, innovation, critical thinking, and communication
and practical skills that can be used in the world outside the
confines of school.
Trends in curriculum development were discussed to show
that over the year curriculum has been undergoing changes
under the influence of philosophical ideas and societal
changes, and that open distance education is obviously the
system for the future as it promises to accommodate the
growing changes in individual needs, communication
technology and curricular efforts to fuse them all together.
