INTRODUCTION
WHEN WE ARE CREATING A CURRICULUM OR
PLANNING A LESSON, WE MIGHT CONCERN ABOUT
WHAT WE NEED TO DO. AND FOR THE CONTENTS,
WHICH OF THEM ARE SUITABLE. IF YOU GOT THESE
OF THE PROBLEMS, “MODELS” MAY HELP YOU TO
FIND THE ANSWER. AND THE USE OF CURRICULUM
MODELS IS TO FORMULATE TEACHING, LEARNING
AND ASSESSMENT APPROACHES SYSTEMATICALLY.
GALEN SAYLOR AND WILLIAM
ALEXANDER CURRICULUM MODEL
Galen Saylor and William Alexander (1974) viewed
curriculum development as a consisting of four steps.
Curriculum is a plan providing sets of learning
opportunities to achieve broad educational goals and
related learning objectives for an identifiable
population served by a single school center.
1. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND DOMAINS
The model indicates that curriculum planners begin by
specifying the major educational goals and specific
objectives they wish to accomplish. Each major goal
represents a curriculum domain and they advocate 4 major
goals or domains: personal development, human relations,
continued learning skills and specialisation. The goals,
objectives and domains are selected after careful
consideration of several external variables such as
findings from educational research, accreditation
standards, views of community groups and others.
2. CURRICULUM DESIGNING
Once the goals, objectives and domains have been
established, planners move into the process of designing
the curriculum. Here decision is made on the appropriate
learning opportunities for each domain and how and when
these opportunities will be provided. Will the curriculum be
designed along the lines of academic disciplines, or
according to student needs and interests or along
themes? These are some of the questions that need to be
answered at this stage of the development process
3. CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION
After the designs have been created the next step is
implementation of the designs by teachers. Based on
the design of the curriculum plan teachers would
specify instructional objectives and then select relevant
teaching methods and strategies to achieve the
desired learning outcomes among students in the
classroom
4. EVALUATION
Curriculum planner and teachers engage in evaluation. The
model proposed that evaluation should be comprehensive
using a variety of evaluation techniques. Evaluation should
involve the total educational programme of the school and
the curriculum plan, the effectiveness of instruction and the
achievement of students. Through the evaluation process,
curriculum planner and developers can determine whether or
nor the goals of the school and the objectives of instruction
have been met.
