MODEL
As a teacher, one has to be a
curriculum designer, curriculum implementor
and a curriculum evaluator. Hence it would
be a great help to know how school curricula
are being made or crafted.

the child

Abraham Maslow

- The development of self is the ultimate
objective of the learning
a. Life-situation design
- based on Herbert Spencer’s curriculum
writing his emphases where activities that
sustain life, enhance life and rearing children,
maintain the individual’s social and political
relations and enhance leisure, tasks and
feelings. The connection of subject matters to
real situations increases the relevance of the
curriculum
b. Core design
- centers on general education and the
problems are based on common human
activities.
