    Curriculum development

    and assessment in
    Geography
    Curriculum Development Process
    Presentation outline/objectives of
    this lecture presentation
    By the end of this session you will be able to:

    • Examine the curriculum development process


    Curriculum process
    • The development of a curriculum is a multi-step, an unending
    and cyclical process which progresses from:
    • Developing a virgin programme or evaluating the existing
    programme, to
    • designing an improved programme, to
    • implementing a new programme and back to
    • evaluating the revised programme.
    • The process also involves selecting, organizing, executing, and
    evaluating curriculum purpose, content, and learning experiences
    on the basis of the needs, abilities and interests of the learners
    and the nature of the society or community.
    Phases/stages of an Effective
    Curriculum Development Process
    Planning:

    • Convening a curriculum development committee


    • Identifying Key issues and trends in the specific content area
    • Assessing needs and issues
    Articulating and Developing:

    • Articulating a programme philosophy.

    • Defining, developing and sequencing of course objectives.

    • Identifying resource materials to assist with programme


    implementation.

    • Developing and/or identifying assessment items and instruments


    to measure student progress.
    Implementing:

    • Putting the new program into practice.

    • Teachers need time and opportunities to become aware of


    and fully familiar with the new curriculum and its overall
    design, particularly how it differs from the past.

    • Teachers need at least two years to pilot the new


    curriculum and new materials in their classrooms.

    • It is not unusual for this period to take up to two years


    before the new curriculum is fully implemented
    Evaluating:

    • Updating the programme.

    • Determining the success of the programme.

    • The curriculum development cycle ends and then begins


    again with a careful evaluation of the effectiveness and
    impact of the programme using:
    • tests,
    • surveys,
    • interviews and focused group discussions and
    • meetings
    Curriculum process (cont’d)
    • curriculum development committee needs to periodically gather
    data on perceptions of programme strengths and weaknesses,
    needs, preferences for textbooks and other materials, and topics
    or objectives that do not seem to be working effectively.

    • This information can be gathered from data that represents


    overall student performance that is linked closely to daily
    instruction.
    “Begin with the end in
    mind”
