Most Important MCQs on Curriculum Development

A curriculum is the combination of instructional practices, learning experiences, and students' performance assessment that are designed to bring out and evaluate the target learning outcomes of a particular course 2. A curriculum consists of the "roadmap" or "guideline" of any given discipline. Both the philosophy of teaching of the instructors as well as of the educational institution serve as two of the principles upon which a curriculum is based 3. Definition of Curriculum Development: Curriculum development is defined as planned, purposeful, progressive, and systematic process in order to create positive improvements in the educational system. Every time there are changes or developments happening around the world, the school curricula are affected. There is a need to update them in order to address the society’s needs. Philosophical bases of curriculum • At the foundation of every curriculum, there is the educational philosophy of people directly involved in the process of curriculum development. • Philosophy is the end and education is the means to achieve that end. • Philosophy determines the goal of life and education tries to achieve that goal. • The contents of the curriculum change to suit the prevalent ideologies and social ways of thinking. • So, the curriculum is positively correlated with the needs and requirements of society. • Philosophy provides curriculum specialists with a framework for broad issues and tasks, in general, what experiences and activities to stress in school and classroom. 2. Sociological bases of curriculum • Society influences the school curriculum. • Every society, community or nation has an essential social obligation to arrange the education of children. • Sociological considerations influence curriculum development in the following distinct ways:- 1. It provides a way of carrying out changes in the behavior of the students as per the needs and demands of the society or nation. 2. To make education as an instrument of social changes and progress. 3. To preserve the culture and transmit it to young children. 4. To prepare the learners for the future society. Thus sociological considerations provide necessary guidelines for developing a useful curriculum for the betterment and the progress of society. 3. Psychological bases of curriculum • Education is for the child. The child is the centre of the educational process. • Through education, efforts are made for bringing desirable changes in the behaviour of the learners. • Psychology as a science of behaviour is linked with the process of imparting education. • It helps curriculum developers in deciding what content and learning experiences can be included in the curriculum. • It provides bases for curriculum development in such a way that curriculum could be developed according to the children in a particular grade and their needs. • The psychology of individual differences among children influences the plan and development of the curriculum. So, the curriculum should have enough variety and elasticity to allow individual differences, needs, and interests. • So, we can conclude that curriculum development is guided by the ideas put forward by psychologists (Piaget, Erickson, Bruner, etc.) from time to time. Hence curriculum development has sufficient psychological bases
