ACTIVITY 19
Direction: Reflect on and address the following:
1. Review the linear curriculum development models.

2. Identify the possible strengths and weaknesses of each model when applied
to the Philippine context.

A. Tyler’s Rational Linear Model

Strengths
 Clearly stated objectives a good place to begin.
 Involves the active participation of the learner.
 Simple linear approach to development of behavior al objectives

Weaknesses
 The objectives have flaws in terms of the reality of curriculum development
which is rarely a fixed or linear process.
 It overlooks the unpredictable nature of teaching and learning. While the
model prescribes specific objectives to achieved, learning occurs beyond
these objectives due to factors that could not be. The model cannot account
for the many complex outcomes of learning.
 The other criticism that has been cited is that educational objectives need to
precede the selection and organization of learning experiences.
 Lastly, the exponents of the rational model, especially Tyler, have been
criticized for not adequately explaining the sources of their objectives.

B. Taba’s Grassroots Rational Model

Strengths
 The one who must teach curriculum will develop it.
 Teaching- learning experience of the teacher will be considered.
 Non-traditional approach- as members of the teaching profession are given
responsibility.
 Needs of the students are given the utmost importance.

Weaknesses
 Approaches, methodologies of different teachers are different.
 Assumes that the teachers have the expertise.
 TIME to engage in such extensive curricular activity.

C. Standard-based Curriculum Development Model

Strengths
 The model extends itself up to the development of scope and sequence,
which is important for planning instruction, and for deciding on specific
contents and objectives.
 It is relevance and applicability in any educational institution in developing
curriculum standards for various courses.
 It gives teachers tangible resources and goals, stimulates creativity, and
enables self-reflection.

Weaknesses
 This model is rational and descriptive, stressing the development of
standards as the first activity in the curriculum development.

 This model recognizes teacher’s inputs in the development of standards,

which are often neglected in curriculum projects in the Philippines because of
the top-down approach to curriculum development and implementation.
 In this model, developing curriculum standards is a separate activity from
the overall curriculum development process, this makes the model
incomplete.
 Specified the development of standards using multiple sources, it cannot
replace the important function of situational analysis in the curriculum
development process.

D. Understanding by Design Model (UBD)

Strengths
 It can help the Commission on Higher Education, particularly the teacher
education institutions, to revise their existing curricula to focus on higher
understanding rather than just prescribing subjects and course descriptions.
 It makes the content of the teacher education curriculum more learner
centered.
 It calls for more relevant curriculum standards in the country.
 It recognized the importance of teachers in the curriculum development
process.

Weaknesses
 The model is fixed at accepting what standards are prescribed by the
government agency on education.
 Goals are most likely to follow the prescribed content standards set by the
government.

E. Systematic Design Model

Strengths

 Recognizes the importance of teachers.

 It considers the individual differences when matching future occupations to
the aptitude of students.
 Allows the research to influence curriculum processes and encourages a
team approach to curriculum development.
 Some curriculum sources and influences are acknowledged in the process of
curriculum development. These curriculum sources and influences are used to
determine the objectives of the curriculum.

Weaknesses
 It places at the forefront the teacher as the reason for failing schools again
failing to account for the role of the leaner.
 Relies heavily on data.
 There’s no provision where curriculum workers can review their actions and
decisions in relation to the factors identified in the first phase.
 Lack of research culture in our education institutions.

F. Murray Print Model for Curriculum Development

Strengths
 This model can be used in any level of curriculum development –local,
college-wide, or national. Very practical to apply this model in the
Philippines.
 The inclusion of instructional evaluation in the development process makes
this model unique.
 The inclusion of a monitoring and feedback system in the curriculum
development is useful when there is a need to do some revision.

 It also recognizes myriad of curriculum conceptions and ideas that various

curriculum workers bring to the curriculum development process which may
influence them in making important curricular decisions.
