TYPES OF CURRICULUM

DESIGN MODELS
Crafting a curriculum is like writing a lesson plan. It is like
making something with the different components, and
putting them together in a very creative way (Bilbao, et.al.;
2008).

According to Reyes and Dizon (2015), curriculum design can

be organized into four major components:

1) aims, goals and objectives, or simply objectives

2) content or subject matter,

3) learning experience and

4) evaluation.
Curriculum Design refers
to the arrangement of the
elements of a curriculum
(Pawilen; 2019).
