Activity 19.

Reflect on and
address the following:

1. Review the linear curriculum

development models.
Linear curriculum development
model provides a clear and simple
approach to building a curriculum
and using linear approximation
makes it easy to identify stability
properties of a non-linear system.
2.Identify the possible strength and
weaknesses of each model when
applied to the Philippine context.
Diagrammatical models can be
found on line. Look up Ralph
Tyler’s model and Hilda Taba’s
model.
Briefly, Taba’s models outlines
these key features in a linear
1.Aims and objectives
2.Course content
3.Teaching method’s
4.Assessment and evaluation
processes.
Strengths of linear models
-Clear logical sequence
-Easy to apply
Weaknessess of linear models
-Inflexibility
-overemphasis on measurable outcomes
-logical structure does not always apply on
non-linear evolving curricular.
Activity 20. Reflect on and
address the following:

1.Review the cyclical curriculum development

models.
Cyclical models lie along with the continuum
between the extremes of rational and
dynamic models incorporating elements of
both to provide a different approach to
devising curricular.
These models are extension of rational
models in that they are essentially logical
and sequential in approach.
Cyclical models view elements
of curriculum as inter related
and interdependent.
In 1970’s a new element was
introduced into the curriculum
process of cyclical models
called situational analysis.
2.Identify the possible strengths and weakness of
each model when applied to the Philippine context.
Strengths of linear models
-Clear logical sequence
-Easy to apply
Weakness of linear models
-Inflexibility
-overemphasis on measurable outcomes
-logical structure does not always apply on non-
linear evolving curricular.
Activity 21.

Review the dynamic curriculum development

models. Identify the possible strength and
weaknesses of each model when applied to
the Philippine context.

Dynamic models describe how curriculum

workers development curricula in various
educational contexts. The dynamic
curriculum development models are usually
used in school based settings.
Strength
-Curriculum development can begin with
any of the elements the model allows
curriculum.
-More realistic, feasible ways of handing
curriculum development.
-Developers are free to be more creative.
Weakness
-Confusion rather than darity.
-Lack of emphasis on the construction and
use of objectives.
-Development waste significant amounts
of time by not following a logical
sequence.
-Developer are left to what to do.
