Reviews


good content, bad binding
The book is very practical for those who are interested in developing the curriculum. It covers all facets about curriculum and many examples. But the edit structure is not very clear, besides, the binding is very lousy. The pages fall off easily.

Based upon a core of key models and basic concepts
Now in a significantly expanded and updated sixth edition, Developing The Curriculum by academician and education expert Peter F. Oliva takes the reader through a methodical, comprehensive, step-by-step process of currciulum developing based upon a core of key models and basic concepts. Chapters address both the technical details and the human dimension of the art of curriculum planning, the philosophy and aims of education, curriculum implementation strategies, appropriately evaluating instruction, and much more. A seminal instructional, illustrating its abstract concepts with diagrams, discussion questions, supplementary exercises and exhaustive, in-depth text.

Traditional Knowledge
This is a definite college textbook, written in small font. It is packed with curriculm models from the past and semi current models for developing curriculm. It is useful to have to refer to when discussing the history of and various models of curriculm designs.
