THE SAYLOR AND ALEXANDER MODEL
Presenter: Edgar M. Cabungcal, RN
MN Student 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. THANK YOU
