The model of curriculum development which I understood best in Tyler’s model the

four basic principles. Its illustrious career in education resulted in major contributions to the
policy and practice of schooling. His influence was especially felt in the field of testing, where he
transformed the idea of measurement into a grander concept that he called evaluation; in the
field of curriculum, where he designed a rationale for curriculum planning in the realm of
educational policy.

Tyler recognizes a problem in connection with the selection of learning experiences by

a teacher. The problem is that a learning experience is the interaction between a students and
her environment. That is a, learning experience is to some degree a function of the perceptions,
interests, and previous experiences of the students. Thus a learning experience is not totally
within the power of the teacher to select. Regardless, Tyler maintains that the teacher control the
learning experience through the manipulation of the environment, resulting in stimulating
situations sufficient to evoke the desired kind of learning outcomes.

All phase of the curriculum process are essential however , from my standpoint, the
curriculum planning is way more important than the rest since in this phase some of the questions
that need to be addressed to define the issue is being exploded. That includes ways to identify gaps
between knowledge and practice trends emerging from the data; a process to prioritize needs; and
identification of the characteristics of the target audience which I think the most essential things to
be considered in the curriculum process.
