The Taba Model

Taba took what is known as a grass-roots

approach to curriculum development. She
believed that the curriculum should be designed
by the teachers rather than handed down by
higher authority. Further, she felt that teachers
should begin the process by creating teaching-
learning units for their students in their schools
rather initially in creating a general curriculum
design.

Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis’s conception of the
curriculum planning process:

Galen Saylor and William

Alexander (1974) believed that
curriculum is “ a plan for providing
sets of learning opportunities to
achieve broad educational goals
and related specific objectives.”
Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis’s conception of the
curriculum planning process:

GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND DOMAINS

Curriculum planners begin by

specifying the major
educational goals and specific
objectives.
Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis’s conception of the
curriculum planning process:

GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND DOMAINS

Each major goal represents a

curriculum domain:
* Continued
* Personal * Human Learning
development Relations Skills

* Specialization
Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis’s conception of the
curriculum planning process:

GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND DOMAINS

The goals, objectives and

domains are identified and chosen
based on research findings,
accreditation standards, and views
of different stakeholders.
